Antique American Hooked Rug Small Scatter Size Wool Blue, Circa Date: 1890s. This small scatter size piece, dating to the 1890s, is a superb example of early American textile art. The dense, looped wool construction provides a tactile, sturdy surface, characteristic of domestic production during this era. This particular style of folk art, known as American Hooked Rugs, often utilized recycled fabrics, giving each piece a unique, slightly uneven texture that speaks to its handmade origin. The central medallion, rendered in rich browns and reds, is framed by a deep, saturated indigo field. The color palette is striking, featuring vibrant accents against a subdued ground. The primary field is dominated by a sophisticated, deep navy, making it an excellent example of blue color rugs that maintain warmth and depth. The design centers on a bold, oval cartouche.
