A late 19th-century American hooked folk art rug from the 1880s, measuring approximately 91.4 × 215.9 cm (about 3'0" × 7'1"). The composition is a multicolor checkerboard with a recurring "X" motif, framed by a caramel-toned border — a confident folk-art vocabulary characteristic of late-19th-century production. American hooked rugs are made by drawing loops of yarn through a stretched backing using a hand-held hook, a technique with deep New England roots. Hand-hooked wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
