EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century rug, hailing from the United States between the years 1860 and 1935, showcases the rich artistic heritage of American textile design. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The rug's intricate geometric motifs consist of a circular design at the center, surrounded by a series of hexagonal shapes. The rug is made from a combination of jute plain weave with cotton and wool yarn felted knitted and woven strips, forming a unique hooked pile texture. The rug's edges are adorned with a cotton twill weave, adding an elegant finishing touch. The use of cotton and wool yarns in the felted knitted and woven strips creates a beautiful contrast, enhancing the overall visual appeal. The rug's design is reminiscent of the intricate needlework and sewing techniques popular during the 19th century in the United States. This rug is a testament to the artistic ingenuity and craftsmanship of the past, and a reminder of the rich textile traditions that have shaped American art and culture. It is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The rug's intricate patterns and timeless design are a true treasure of American heritage art, and a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for textiles and the history of art.
