Ad for Congoleum's linoleum area rugs in Woman's Home Companion, December 1929
This is a firmly 1920s kitchen even though the ad is from 1929, with only one kitchen cabinet (in red with a white stool in front of it) featuring a relatively small work counter. The kitchen table has benches for seating and thre's a wall-hung rack near the sink, but the sink is freestanding on legs, without any cabinet space under it, and there are none of the tall built-in cabinets which started to appear sometimes in the late 1920s. The mother stands at a wheeled "tea wagon", an item which was very popular in the period.
The linoleum area rug itself is a peculiar mixture of a faux-textile rug effect, with the contrast border, and a field that seems to be going for more of a faux tile effect.
