Floral Antique Fan Arc Border American Folk Art Hooked Rug

Antique American Hooked Ivory 1900s Rug, Circa Date: 1900s. This charming textile exemplifies the rustic, folk-art tradition of American hooked rugs prevalent at the turn of the century. Its construction, utilizing strips of fabric pulled through a backing, provides a uniquely tactile and durable surface, making it a desirable example among antique rugs. The primary field color, described as ivory, has matured over a century into a rich, complex tan and beige patina, characteristic of aged natural fibers. This subdued ground allows the central design elements to emerge with striking clarity, offering a sophisticated alternative to brighter ivory color rugs. A robust central rosette cluster dominates the composition, rendered in deep reds and muted burgundies, surrounded by scattered, stylized foliage.
