Antique Large Size American Folk Art Rose Pattern Hooked Rug

Antique Large American Hooked Usa Allover Floral - Loop Pile Rug, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional textile represents the finest tradition of the American Hooked Rug style, characterized by its robust construction and charming, folk-art sensibility prevalent in the late 19th century. The wool surface features a dense, textural loop pile, creating a warm, dimensional quality often associated with domestic textile arts. The field is dominated by an allover design of stylized roses and small blossoms rendered in vibrant reds, pinks, and pale greens against a complex, striated ground of rich browns and ochres. Given its substantial dimensions, this piece qualifies as a truly large oversized rug, a rarity among domestic hooked examples which were often smaller, utilitarian mats.
