Mid-20th century Striped American Hooked Tile Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
A mid 20th century American rug and vintage carpet with alternating polychrome tiles of dense vertical and horizontal stripes overall.

Antique rug hooking in the present form might have developed in North America. The story likes to repeat itself, thus primarily this humble craft constituted the domain of the poor. About 1830, when weaving centers began producing machine-made carpets for the rich, the trend for floor coverings arose in the United States. Less wealthy had to use their skill and imagination to transform whatever they had into valid utilitarian object. Having no access to thrums, resourceful American women took all kinds of fabric remnants and created imaginative and beautiful American hand hooked area rugs.

This is Mid-20th century Striped American Hooked Tile Rug number BB8515 in our internal collections. This rug was manufactured around 1940 in America, which means it is already 84 years old.

The dimensions of this rug are: 8'10" × 14'1" width × length, which corresponds to 269 × 429 cm in the metric system. This rug comes from the "Antique" era of carpet production.

The rug was qualified by our experts as a Casual, Geometric style in our wide offer of Hooked Rug rugs. If you are interested in this unique work of art, please contact us with the number BB8515 for further information.
