American Floral Hooked Rug, 08’09 x 11’10. 

An American hooked rug, crafted through the traditional technique of rug hooking, involves pulling loops of yarn or fabric through a base material like burlap or linen to create a textured surface, with loops secured by knots or stitches. These rugs traditionally use wool fabric but may also incorporate materials like yarn or synthetic fibers. They feature vibrant designs ranging from geometric patterns to pictorial scenes, reflecting cultural influences. The plush texture varies based on loop tightness and stitching density, offering warmth and durability. Available in various sizes and shapes, including oval and rectangular, these handcrafted rugs are cherished for their uniqueness, adding warmth, color, and personality to spaces while serving as both functional coverings and artistic pieces.

In this enchanted antique American hooked rug, the timeless elegance of Baroque intertwines with the delicate allure of Art Nouveau, unveiling a mesmerizing tableau of opulence and natural splendor. Across its neutral canvas, a symphony of florals, leaves, and botanical forms intertwines, each motif whispering ancient tales of a bygone era. At each corner, clusters of rose bouquets burst forth, adding an extra layer of unmatched magnificence. Every intricate detail, meticulously woven into its fibers, invites the soul to wander amidst the lush landscapes of nature's beauty, framed by the embrace of large-scale acanthus leaves. A harmonious fusion of rich, deep hues reminiscent of Baroque art and the softer tones of Art Nouveau paints a picture of unparalleled beauty.
