American Hooked 1930s Small Scatter Size Antique Multicolor Wool Rug, Circa Date: 1930s. This charming example of an American Hooked rug captures the folk art sensibility popular during the Depression era. Its construction, utilizing strips of wool fabric pulled through a sturdy backing, creates a uniquely textured surface that speaks to the domestic craftsmanship movement of the period.

The dimensions classify this piece as a desirable small scatter size, making it an ideal accent for a cozy reading nook, a hearth, or a transitional space. Unlike larger area carpets, this scale offers versatility, allowing the piece to be easily moved and integrated into various decorative schemes while providing a warm, tactile element underfoot.

The design features a striking checkerboard grid, alternating between solid, light-toned squares bearing simple floral sprigs and darker, mottled squares. The palette is vibrant yet muted, utilizing a range of hues that categorize it among multicolor jewel tone rugs, providing depth and visual interest across the allover pattern.

Such domestic textile arts represent a significant chapter in North American design history. Crafted from durable wool, this piece has retained its structural integrity and expressive charm over the decades. It remains a finely preserved specimen within our curated collection of antique rugs. See less
