American Hook / 15463

This American Hook antique rug measures 5' 7" x 8' 5" and presents a lively patchwork of floral squares and striped geometry, all held within a dark, hand-drawn grid. The wool surface balances cream and white fields with muted red blossoms, olive green leaves, and accents of navy, purple, blue, and black. Its low distress preserves the clarity of the pattern while softening the surface with age. Circa 1885 - 1900, the composition feels at once orderly and expressive, with a tactile presence that reflects the character of an antique rug made for visual rhythm rather than restraint.
