Antique 1890s American Ivory Hooked Wool Small Scatter Size Rug, Country of Origin: American USA Rugs, Circa Date: 1890s. This charming piece represents the domestic textile arts prevalent in the late 19th century, offering a tangible glimpse into the history of antique rugs.

The construction utilizes the traditional hooked wool technique, lending the surface a dense, tactile quality typical of American folk textiles. The primary field color is a rich, aged ivory, providing a luminous, neutral foundation that highlights the subtle variations in the muted terracotta and sage tones used for the secondary floral motifs.

Characterized by a repeating geometric lattice, the design forms an elegant series of interlocking quatrefoil medallions. This dense arrangement ensures the pattern is distributed evenly across the field, resulting in a true allover design that is both visually engaging and structurally balanced.

As a small scatter size rug, this piece is ideally suited for intimate spaces, such as an entryway or beside a hearth, where its craftsmanship can be appreciated up close. Its distinct aesthetic firmly places it within the tradition of American USA rugs crafted during the Victorian era, showcasing a unique blend of formal pattern inspiration and rustic execution.
