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 beautiful fusion of cotton, jute, wool, and needlework, with the jute serving as the foundation in a plain weave. The cotton and wool yarns have been felted, knitted, and woven into strips that form the hooked pile, creating a unique texture and depth. The rug is adorned with intricate geometric motifs, including stars and oblique interlacing, which are edged with cotton and wool. These motifs are characteristic of the 19th century American folk art tradition, reflecting the country's rural heritage and craftsmanship. The rug's design is a testament to the skill and creativity of its maker, who expertly combined various techniques to create a visually striking and durable piece. This rug is a treasure from the past, and a reminder of the rich artistic traditions that have shaped the history of American textiles. It is currently housed in the Textiles and Costumes Department of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
