Antique Round Braided American USA Geometric Medallion Flat Weave Rug, Circa Date: 1935. This charming Round textile represents the enduring folk art tradition of American informal rugs, crafted during the mid-Depression era. Its flat weave structure and durable material composition speak to a history of resourceful domestic craftsmanship. Size 6’0″ x 6’0″ Format: round
The defining characteristic of this piece is its meticulous braided construction, where strips of fabric are tightly woven into concentric rings, creating a striking Round geometric medallion pattern. Unlike pile carpets, this flat weave offers a robust, reversible surface, ideal for high-traffic areas or rustic interiors seeking authentic texture.
The palette is a vibrant celebration of color, featuring concentric bands of red, gold, rust, and soft blue, resulting in a dynamic multicolor jewel tone effect. This cheerful, saturated coloring is typical of the early 20th-century aesthetic, providing a warm, inviting focal point suitable for a variety of spaces.
While the exact dimensions are critical for placement, this round piece falls into the category of a small room size rug (6.0ft x 6.0ft), perfect for entryways, hearths, or beneath a pedestal table. As an authentic example of early 20th-century textile art, this item joins our curated collection of exceptional antique rugs, offering both historical value and immediate decorative appeal.
