These abstracted floral rugs motifs demonstrate a unique blend of folk art simplicity and structured design.
Its dimensions classify it perfectly among small scatter size rugs, making it ideal for placement beside a chair, in an entryway, or as a decorative wall hanging. This 1920s piece is a testament to American craftsmanship, offering both historical character and enduring decorative appeal.
