Small Scatter Size American Hooked Antique Wool 1920s Rug, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1920s. This charming piece represents the enduring domestic artistry of American USA Rugs during the early 20th century. Its construction utilizes the traditional hooked technique, lending a distinctive, textural quality to the dense wool pile that speaks to the era's commitment to handcrafted textiles.

The central field is dominated by a striking naturalistic depiction of dogwood branches in full bloom, setting it apart as a fine example of floral rugs. The composition is rendered against a rich, mottled indigo ground, allowing the creamy white and pale lavender tones of the blossoms to emerge with subtle clarity, outlined in a deep, complementary maroon.

Contrasting sharply with the organic central motif is a highly structured border system. Multiple bands incorporate stepped geometric lines and a sawtooth outer edge, a sophisticated use of design that elevates this small scatter size piece beyond typical folk craft. This precise geometry frames the central image beautifully, utilizing a palette of beige, taupe, and deep brown.

As a collectible textile from the 1920s, this hooked rug offers both historical charm and exceptional decorative versatility. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of high-quality, handcrafted antique rugs, perfect for adding a layer of warmth and authentic period character to a refined interior space. See less
