1920s Antique American Hooked Wool Hallway Runner Rug - Ivory Beige Cream

Hallway Runner Rugs (2.02ft x 12ft), Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional textile is a prime example of an American hooked rug, showcasing the domestic artistry prevalent in the early 20th century. Its construction utilizes repurposed wool strips, creating a highly textured and tactile surface, characteristic of these unique antique rugs. The composition features a complex, highly abstract geometric arrangement. The allover design is built from interlocking rectangular and stepped forms, creating a rhythmic, maze-like structure that runs the length of the piece. This sophisticated repetition provides visual movement while maintaining a deeply grounded sense of order. The palette is remarkably restrained, utilizing subtle gradations of ivory beige cream white.
