Vintage American Hooked Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Patchwork BB7534 5'10" × 8'7" $8,000

This vintage American hooked wool rug is worked in the hooked-rug tradition, with a compact patchwork layout that gives the surface a distinctly handcrafted, folk-textile character. Rather than relying on a central medallion, the design unfolds as an orderly grid of framed squares set against a warm tan ground.

Each reserve is outlined in deep navy blue or earthy brown, then filled with small floral motifs that appear in dusty rose, sage green, cream, and muted teal. The repeated blocks create a measured rhythm, yet the slightly irregular hooked pile keeps the composition from feeling rigid. That contrast between structure and softness is what gives the piece its appeal.

Visually, the rug reads as geometric and botanical at once: architectural in layout, but relaxed in spirit. Its subdued palette and quilt-like pattern make it especially effective for grounding wood furnishings, warming casual interiors, or adding texture to a room that calls for pattern without excess ornament.

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.
