American, most likely Northeastern, dated 1920. Cotton and wool fibers. Composed and made in manner that would seem earlier, this hooked rug has a coveted combination of soft earth tones, "just right" period wear, variegated background, and playful horses. Large petal forms could be interpreted as flowers or possibly snowflakes. Excellent condition with no repairs noted. Museum mounted for easy hanging. About 37 1/2 x 19 1/2 inches. See American Hooked and Sewn Rugs, Folk Art Underfoot, Kopp for reference.
