First Hooked Rugs

Have you ever stopped to think how
really "new" is our admiration of
our great-grandmother's hooked
rugs?
SO recently as only 10 and II years
go even the knowing lovers of early
American things had oriental and not
hooked rugs on the floors of their
colonial houses.
1t was quite by accident that the
interest of collectors was turned to
hooked rugs. At that time. while
touring New England in search of
colonial paintings and portraits, one
of these collectors. whose name is ma
tionally known, ran across his first
hooked rug" thrown across an old
battered seachest.
Inquiring what that bit of faded
color was, he was told that it was a
hooked rug. Strongly interested, he

paintings. but for pictures on floor
coverings.
The art of hooking" rugs evidently
f1ourished in the late eighteenth cen
tury, and the most beautiful exam
pies are those made about that period
in New England. In those early days
we must remember that the housewife
had little other choice than rough,

full brain contrived a covering of such
material as she had at hand. Occa-
sionally, 1t is true, a sea captain
brought home from far-awaS Sndia or
Persia a trophy in the form of an
oriental rug, but these were few and
far between, gracing only the floors
of the more fortunate.
Our early history shows no record
of any organized industry for the
making of floor coverings of any kind.
The thrifty folk of Pennsylvania and
Maryland did install hand-looms in
their homes, on which they wove rag
carpets. But 1t was the New England
housewife who undertook the more
difficult art of hooking rugs, and
made them to cover every floor in her
home.
