Antique American Rag Rug American Allover Geometric Knotted, Circa Date: 1940s. This exceptional piece is a testament to mid-century American textile craft, utilizing a simple, repetitive striped structure that embodies the utilitarian aesthetic of the era. It joins our curated collection of antique rugs that define regional weaving traditions. The composition relies on a tightly woven flat-weave technique, characteristic of traditional rag rug construction where repurposed textile strips create a durable, textured surface. While many American folk pieces feature vibrant hues, this example uses a sophisticated palette of natural creams, deep chocolate browns, and russet tones, offering a refined counterpoint to more saturated multicolor jewel tone rugs. The geometric design is built upon alternating bands of varying widths, creating a visual rhythm across the field.
