American Hooked Vintage Abstract Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8519 7'0" × 7'0" $20,000

This antique American hand-hooked wool rug belongs to the country’s enduring hooked-rug tradition, here rendered in a square format with the composed presence of a framed textile rather than a purely casual floor covering.

The center field is organized as a broad expanse of horizontal striations instead of a medallion or repeating floral motif. Slate gray is interrupted by cream, tan, muted red, mustard, and small notes of blue and green, creating a painterly abstraction that feels relaxed and modern. Up close, the hand-hooked construction gives each band a slightly uneven edge, reinforcing the rug’s handmade character.

A dark outer border gathers the composition with scrolling botanical vines and leaf clusters in burnt orange, rust, olive, gold, and red. That foliate frame gives the piece definition and warmth without making it formal, allowing this antique hooked rug to anchor transitional, eclectic, or collected interiors with pattern, texture, and a quietly age.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
