Coral Antique American Folk Art Square Hooked Rug

$6,000.00

This late 19th-century American hooked rug is a standout piece of geometric folk art, distinguished by its rare and mathematically satisfying rare square shape. While many antique American hooked rugs from this era utilized floral or pictorial motifs, this specimen embraces a sophisticated, architectural approach with its layered brick pattern. The design features a series of offset rectangles that create a rhythmic, tessellated effect, reflecting the influence of early modernism on traditional domestic crafts. The palette is anchored by a soft and inviting coral foundation. This colorway offers a fresh and airy alternative to the more common earthy tones of the period.
