This is a vintage braided rug, all hand braided and hand sewn, that was crafted in Nova Scotia, Canada. The rug was purchased in Nova Scotia asa vintage item in the 1990s for a summer place we had there at the time. The maker and exact year the rug was made areunknown.This is a large, eye-catching piece, measuring 63” x 36”. Colors are wonderful, primarily blues, greens and browns – perhaps inspired by the sea, sky and forests of NovaScotia. There is a mix of fabrics, including w...ool and some synthetics, all artfullycombined to create this collectible piece of Canadian folk art.The condition is good and it lies perfectly flat on the floor. There issome wear as shown in the photos, especially on the green fabric, but this rug has plenty of years of useremaining. It has been packed away for many years at this point but is cleanand odor-free. It’s been carefully vacuumed and gone over with a lint rollerseveral times. Still, since we had a Border Collie in NS, I can’t guaranteethere may not be a stray dog hair somewhere! (Please pass up this rug if you have anyconcerns about allergies.)Thanks for taking a look.
