On the Design: Featuring an equally gorgeous and unique horse pictorial design, this piece is one of the most beautiful rugs we’ve curated from this style. While rare in all rugs, hooked rugs like this one are especially desirable for being one of the styles where scenery depictions are celebrated, though each piece remains one of a kind. Connoisseurs will note the carefully hand-knotted horse and trees that come alive in a color palette of green and brown, lending an air of vibrancy to the composition. Animal pictorial rugs of this nature are highly sought-after, as they beautifully encapsulate the intersection of artistic expression and cultural heritage. This piece is among some of the richest, most collectible works of folk art and among the earliest forms of American folk art in our field—an exemplar of folksy charm and art as much as an accent rug, from a distinguished weaving tradition of Americana with vast design applications today. Condition: This antique hooked rug has moderate wear on the field and some holes, available as is for use in wall-hanging projects as a tapestry only. Those interested in repairing this piece for an additional fee may enquire for a quote. See less
