Antique American Rag Rug American Knotted, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1900s. This exceptional example of American textile craft from the early 20th century highlights the resourceful nature of American USA Rugs production. The piece utilizes recycled fabric strips, knotted and woven to create a dense, highly durable surface suitable for high-traffic areas. The design features a compelling, horizontally striped pattern composed of variegated tones—soft blues, taupes, creams, and deep grays—that shift subtly across the field. While often simple in construction, the resulting texture creates a sophisticated, almost painterly effect, offering an allover design that integrates seamlessly into contemporary or traditional interiors. Rag rugs were historically functional, often created by necessity to cover large expanses of floor.
