Antique American Hooked Rug, circa 1900 - Although created in an American folk art milieu, this impressive antique hooked rug nevertheless reflects the geometric designs of Chinese carpets and textiles that were already becoming known here in the early twentieth century. Rows of cruciform medallions with multiple outlines in varied colors create a reciprocal design across the field in two haves or wings separated by a zone of polychrome striation more typical or the vernacular hooked rug tradition. The result is a marvelous combination of rustic charm and design sophistication that never ceases to engage the viewer.
