Early American Hooked Rug with Basket-Weave Pattern and Polychromatic Stripes
Ingenious in style, color and composition, the features in this spectacular, antique American hooked rug create an illusion of depth and texture. The beautiful basket-weave pattern, with its polychromatic stripes, follows a strict under-over form that sets it apart from the monochromatic and subtly variegated squares featured in the background. Like a patchwork quilt that incorporates innumerable colors and prints, this stunning antique hooked rug is a joy to behold as it illustrates the amazing versatility of a simple geometric repeating pattern, which is executed in a way that is full of color, texture and visual appeal.
