Antique Native American Flat Weave Rag Rug, Circa Date: 1935. This superb example of American textile craft embodies the utilitarian artistry of the mid-1930s. Created using recycled fabric scraps, the flat weave construction provides a durable, textured surface, distinguishing it among other antique rugs of the period. The composition employs a bold, graphic structure defined by two large, opposing rectilinear forms set within wide, natural-toned borders. This strong, linear arrangement emphasizes the inherent structure of the flat weave, showcasing a distinct geometric design that is both modern and rooted in folk tradition. The color palette is deceptively complex; while the field reads primarily as variegated blue and cream, the recycled fibers introduce subtle flashes of deep indigo, crimson, and charcoal.
