Vintage American Hooked Rug with Floral Patchwork Design BB7534 5'10" × 8'7" $8,000

This rare vintage American hooked rug, dating from the early 20th century, is a stunning example of the ingenuity and charm of traditional American folk art. Crafted entirely by hand, the rug features a distinctive patchwork design composed of square floral motifs, each enclosed in richly textured frames of navy, chocolate, and beige. These “blocks” come together like a quilt, giving the piece a visual rhythm and a comforting, homespun aesthetic.

Each square contains a unique bouquet of stylized roses or floral clusters, rendered in warm tones of rose, blush, burgundy, and green against a variety of background shades from soft ivory to teal and blue. The arrangement showcases the maker’s eye for color balance and pattern variation, a hallmark of antique American hooked rugs.

The palette of earthy neutrals and faded jewel tones gives the rug a time-softened beauty, while the raised loops of fabric lend a tactile, almost sculptural surface texture. Despite its age, the rug retains a wonderful depth and vibrancy, with charming signs of wear and hand-stitched repairs that speak to its history and authenticity.

Ideal for adding warmth, character, and a touch of Americana to any interior, this hooked rug would be equally at home in a rustic farmhouse, a traditional library, or a layered, bohemian space. It’s not only a decorative object but a genuine piece of textile heritage.
