American Hooked Vintage Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Checkerboard Design BB3025 8'8" × 12'0" $8,000

This vintage American hooked rug, circa 1940, reflects the folk tradition of hand-hooked floor coverings, translated here into a room-size composition with broad visual presence. Its warm tan field and softly aged surface give the piece an easy, lived-in character, while the hooked construction preserves the irregular, handcrafted texture that defines the genre.

At the center, a vertical chain of diamond-shaped panels creates a clear spine, each reserve filled with simplified leafy sprays and small floral forms in brown, beige, and dusty pink. The motifs are reduced almost to silhouettes, which lends the rug a quiet rhythm and a decorative clarity without becoming formal or rigid.

Around that core, a checkerboard ground in muted blue, cream, red, and earthy brown adds movement and texture, while the restrained border keeps the layout balanced. The result is a vintage floral geometric rug with a relaxed, collected presence, well suited to interiors that call for warmth, pattern, and an authentic American accent.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
