Antique American Square Rag Rug Small Scatter Size Cotton Ivory, Circa Date: 1930s. This charming textile exemplifies the resourceful folk art tradition prevalent in American homes during the Depression era. Woven entirely from cotton rags, its square construction emphasizes utility and texture over formal design, offering a unique counterpoint to more elaborate, imported antique rugs. The palette is dominated by a soft, warm ivory color foundation, providing a bright, airy base. Interwoven horizontally are narrow bands of muted primary colors—faded reds, soft denim blues, and subtle ochres—which lend the piece a distinctive, homespun character. The varied thickness of the woven strips creates a wonderfully tactile surface, highlighting the handmade nature of the piece.
