NBMR2016.5 | mat
This mat was found in a house built in the 1800s at Lutes Mountain, NB, owned by five generations of the same family. This unusual original design is made of recycled fabrics made from all natural materials and likely hand‑dyed. The dynamic visual impact is a result of a careful choice of colours along the edge of the central motif.

This is an unusual original design inspired by tradition "inch" mat motifs in the centre and ribbon border based on a commercial design. Made from hand‑cut, recycled materials and hooked in a very primitive method, this mat has a very effective visual impact.

This ambitious carpet‑sized mat is likely an original design that is well‑balanced and skilfully executed. According to the family, it was hooked as a type of therapy for the maker's arthritis.
