American Hooked Vintage Floral Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7786 11'4" × 14'2" $43,000

This early 20th-century American hooked rug distills the country’s folk weaving tradition into a calm, floral composition with a distinctly vintage hand.

A soft beige field, washed with sage and muted green, provides a quiet backdrop for the central wreath medallion of ivory blossoms and leafy stems. A smaller bouquet repeats the motif at the center, giving the design a layered, almost garland-like rhythm. The narrow border and generous open ground keep the composition tailored, while the softened surface and worn lower field add warmth and tonal depth.

Woven in wool with a hooked pile, the rug carries the tactile character prized in antique American hooked rugs: visible age, subtle irregularity, and a decorative presence that never feels formal. It brings softness to living rooms, dining spaces, or bedrooms, especially where vintage furniture, cottage details, or understated traditional interiors benefit from a restrained botanical accent. Its open layout is especially effective beneath clean-lined upholstery and layered neutral palettes that call for texture.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
