Beautiful Antique Large American Rag Rug, Country of Origin: America, Circa Date: Early 20th Century – The faded appearance of this American rug, an antique rag rug only adds to its character and charm. It features a threadbare surface that allows the barest details to stand out in a stark and elegant way. Through a relatively minimal amount of colors, distinct bars are clearly outlined along the antique rug. The artist cleverly combines darker tones with lighter ones to describe movement and shape. Light sage green, buttermilk yellow, grapefruit pink, soft blushing pink and charcoal gray all stand against each other along the rug’s foreground. This beautiful and casual antique American rag rug is divided into four distinct sectors, each of which feature their own color scheme as the blocks follow the same horizontally descending pattern.
