Vintage American Hooked Rug with Floral and Checkerboard Design BB3025 8'8" × 12'0" $8,000

Celebrate the artistry of early American craftsmanship with this captivating vintage hooked rug, handwoven in the 1920s. This piece harmonizes rustic charm with graphic sophistication, making it a striking yet inviting addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

The composition is visually divided into two prominent diamond medallions filled with stylized floral motifs rendered in warm earth tones—burnt sienna, faded rose, ochre, and soft green. These motifs echo folk art traditions, with each bloom and leaf evoking the quiet poetry of rural life.

Surrounding the central florals is a checkerboard ground composed of small squares in soft neutrals, faded blues, muted reds, and ochres. The interplay of these contrasting patterns—organic and geometric—creates a layered sense of texture and movement.

Hand-hooked using a variety of recycled textiles, this rug is not only a testament to sustainable ingenuity but also a rare artifact of American decorative history. Its slightly faded hues and subtle irregularities only enhance its soulful appeal, lending character and authenticity.

Perfect as a grounding element in a living room, bedroom, or gallery wall, this rug brings heritage, warmth, and a unique visual narrative to any space.
