Small Square Scatter Size Hooked Antique American 1935 Wool Rug, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1935. This exceptional piece of textile history originates from the American USA Rugs tradition, showcasing the robust domestic craftsmanship prevalent during the mid-1930s. The hooked technique provides a textural depth that distinguishes it from woven counterparts.
The practical dimensions classify this as a small scatter size, featuring a versatile square shape that makes it an ideal accent piece for a hallway entrance, dressing room, or placed before a hearth. Its ground color is a subtle, mottled grey-blue, providing a neutral yet sophisticated backdrop for the central medallion’s rich palette.
At the center, a striking black oval field hosts a vibrant, densely packed bouquet. The design is a classic example of floral rugs, featuring lush roses, hydrangeas, and smaller blossoms rendered in soft pinks, deep crimsons, and variegated greens, framed by an ornate, rust-toned cartouche border. This square rug beautifully balances folk art technique with formal European design influence.
As with all our curated selections, this 1935 example is a preserved artifact, offering collectors a unique opportunity to acquire fine antique rugs with documented provenance and charm.
