Wool Hooked 1930s American Small Scatter Size Antique Rug, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1930s. This compelling piece represents the unique textile tradition of the United States, offering a sophisticated, yet rustic, aesthetic profile among antique rugs. The rug's distinctive visual language places it firmly within the folk art revival movements of the early 20th century.

The construction utilizes the traditional American technique, resulting in a dense, textural surface created by looping wool strips through a sturdy foundation. The design is highly unusual, featuring an organized grid structure filled with abstract, swirling lines. This striking geometry creates an allover rugs effect, where the pattern repeats seamlessly across the entire field, exemplifying the creative freedom found within the American hooked rug tradition.

The palette is composed of rich, earthy tones—deep browns framing the squares, interspersed with variegated lines of rust, cream, olive, and plum. This restrained color story ensures the rug remains versatile, despite its dynamic visual movement. Given its dimensions, this piece functions perfectly as one of our highly sought-after small scatter size rugs, ideal for placement in an entryway, beside a bed, or anchoring a small reading nook.

Originating in the 1930s, this textile captures the spirit of early American Modernism through a folk art lens. Its wool construction remains remarkably intact, displaying the durability and charm characteristic of period domestic textiles, offering a distinctive, textural foundation for contemporary or traditional interiors.
