EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century rug, hailing from the United States, showcases the rich artistic heritage of American textile design. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The rug is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the time, with its intricate geometric motifs and patterns. The rug is made from a combination of jute, cotton, linen, and wool, with the jute serving as the base in a plain weave. The cotton, linen, and wool yarns have been felted, knitted, and woven to create the striking hooked pile design. The rug's edges are adorned with oblique interlacing made from wool and cotton. The design features a star motif, which is a common theme in American folk art of the 19th century. The motif is executed with precision and care, each star point radiating out from the center, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The use of various textiles and techniques adds to the rug's visual interest and texture. This rug is a prime example of the artistic and cultural significance of textiles in American history. It is a treasure to be admired for its beauty, craftsmanship, and historical value. The rug is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
