Antique American Hooked Rug, circa 1900 - Antique American hooked rugs sometimes tread the boundary between ornamental pattern and pictorial imagery, like this charming piece. Perhaps it could be entitled, "Autumn Leaves," given the lovely depiction of fall foliage that it discloses in shades of red, brown, gold, and sage green. But the leaves all sway and blow in undulating rhythms affirming the strong decorative power of the design, an aspect underscored by the remarkable border of leaves and interlocking horseshoes
