This 6x10 antique hooked rug is believed to be a rare Tetex rug—a curation from the Rug & Kilim Collection. Handmade with wool and originating from Germany circa 1920-1930, its design enjoys beige-brown and navy blue floral patterns on a red field.
On the Design:
Connoisseurs may admire this piece as a European take on Oriental rug designs—a rich piece of artistry and history. The distinctive hooked technique lends a unique texture to the rug, adding a more impressionistic, playful feel to its traditional sensibility. The rich red field, with subtle rust accents, creates a natural background for the impressive range of vibrant colors. Few rugs in its era, and even fewer in this rare provenance, boast this sheer range of hues and the attention to detail in its all over pattern. It’s a regal piece, yet full of whimsy and personal touches that distinguish it among similar curations today.
