$1,400.00

Antique American Hooked Rug American Ivory 1940s, Circa Date: 1940s. This charming example of American Hooked Rugs captures a serene naturalistic scene, depicting two swans gliding across a pond framed by tall cattails. The technique, characterized by its textural loop pile, lends an appealing, hand-crafted dimensionality to the composition. The central field utilizes a rich, variegated ivory color that provides a soft contrast to the deep blues and earthy browns of the multi-layered border. The subtle shading used to render the swans' plumage and the water's surface demonstrates a sophisticated handling of the limited palette typical of mid-century American textile arts.
