A vintage mid-20th-century American hooked rug, The piece measures approximately 5’11” × 8’6″ (per the seller listing).
American hooked rugs are made by drawing loops of yarn through a stretched backing using a hand-held hook, a technique that originated in 19th-century New England and remains a distinctive American floor-covering tradition. The hooked surface gives the rug its characteristic textured pile and matte finish, very different from the harder sheen of pile-knotted carpets.
