Ivory Antique American Folk Art Hooked Rug: The 1787 Homestead

The 1787 Homestead American Folk Art Hooked Rug Antique American (likely Pennsylvania or New England) Folk Art Hooked Rug From The Early 20th Century (Colonial Revival Period): "The 1787 Homestead" This Ivory hooked folk art is more than likely a commemorative family homestead with a black horse and initials. It is a quintessential work of American Colonial Revival folk art, this antique hooked rug is a masterful "memory textile" created during the early twentieth-century peak of ancestral documentation. While the woven date of 1787 and the initials "G.W. Mc" are boldly inscribed, they represent a celebratory tribute to a family lineage established during the founding era of the United States.
