Vintage American Hooked Rug in Tan and Brown with Geometric Lattice BB3453 8'10" × 11'9" $9,000

This vintage American hooked rug embodies the quiet sophistication and utilitarian charm of early 20th-century textile design. Crafted in a warm, earthy palette of tan and brown, the rug features a repeating geometric lattice motif that brings both structure and subtle movement to its field. The interlocking grid pattern—composed of gently irregular right angles—suggests a folk-art interpretation of mid-century modern abstraction, blending rustic artistry with design foresight.

Framing the central design is a striking border rendered in a sinuous wave or serpentine motif, adding a whimsical contrast to the rectilinear interior. This meandering edge—accented in rich shades of rust and ochre—invokes the rhythmic motion of a vine or flowing ribbon, providing visual interest and softening the overall aesthetic.

Hand-hooked using recycled textiles in true American tradition, this rug exemplifies the domestic ingenuity of its time. The muted tonal range and minimal ornamentation make it especially well-suited to interiors that value quiet texture, organic geometry, or vintage Americana with a modern sensibility.

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.
