Antique American Hooked Square Rug Small Scatter Size Wool & Cotton Multi, Circa Date: 1890s. This charming example of American textile folk art utilizes the traditional hooked technique, crafted primarily from wool and cotton. As a distinctive piece among antique rugs, its geometric design, composed of repeating concentric squares, is characteristic of late 19th-century domestic artistry. The repeating pattern creates a dynamic diamond lattice across the field, offering a compelling visual rhythm. The subtle use of color, derived likely from repurposed fabrics, results in a complex, striated texture, placing this square rug within the broader category of multicolor textiles. The palette leans toward earthy neutrals, punctuated by rich secondary hues of deep red and indigo.
