American Hooked Vintage Floral Cream Beige – Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8929 12'8" × 15'7" $22,000

This exquisite vintage American hooked rug, dating from the 1940s, is a celebration of folk craftsmanship and romantic botanical beauty. A masterful example of American textile art, the rug combines decorative precision with joyful color, presenting a lush floral composition that feels both charming and sophisticated.

The field is adorned with a soft yellow trellis lattice formed by leafy green vines interspersed with tiny red and blue blossoms, creating a subtle, elegant grid across the surface. This delicate structure provides a sense of order and texture, evoking the look of a hand-tended garden plot or vintage French needlework.

Encircling the field is a luxuriant border bursting with full-blooming red roses, framed by vibrant green foliage and accents of sky blue and soft lilac. These abundant blossoms are set against a rich burgundy ground, giving the rug a dramatic and romantic contrast that draws the eye outward while grounding the airy central design.

Crafted using the traditional hooked rug technique, each looped detail contributes to a rich tactile surface that reflects both artistic intention and a legacy of utilitarian beauty. The rug’s palette, while vivid, is thoughtfully restrained—lending it versatility for interiors ranging from country cottage to eclectic bohemian.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
