Long Rug (5.08ft x 11ft), Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of early 20th-century textile craft features a dynamic, repeating geometric pattern executed in the distinctive loop pile technique. The hand-hooked construction lends a textural, robust quality characteristic of these highly desirable antique rugs. The design is a masterful study in optical geometry, utilizing interlocking diamond and hexagonal shapes to create a three-dimensional effect often referred to as "tumbling blocks." This complex structure results in an allover design that fills the field without a central medallion, offering visual movement and continuous interest. The palette is vibrant, featuring rich reds, deep blues, olive greens, and ochres. The use of varied wool and cotton fibers allows for subtle shifts in texture and saturation, enhancing the depth of the composition.
