About the Item

Late 19th Century American Shaker Rag Rug ( 8'6" x 9' 0" - 260 x 300 cm ) American Shaker rugs have that textural rag rug vibe. Woven in strips that are then stitched together in a gradient of hues which express a casual happiness. The composition features an allover design of horizontal bands, meticulously structured yet inherently organic due to the varied texture of the woven rags. The palette is surprisingly vibrant, incorporating rich blues, deep ochres, and natural tans, creating a sophisticated multicolor jewel tone effect that elevates the humble materials used in its construction. Unlike smaller scatter rugs, the scale of this piece suggests it was intended as a functional floor covering for a prominent space within a period home. Its durable construction and substantial presence make it a compelling candidate among room size rugs of the period, offering both historical integrity and robust utility for modern interiors. Surviving examples of this quality and age are increasingly rare, often showing significant wear due to their utility. This textile stands as a testament to American ingenuity, providing collectors with a unique opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of textile history, distinct from traditional oriental carpets found in our collection of antique rugs.
