Description: Grenfell Industries mats were hand-woven in households throughout Newfoundland and Labrador from the 1910's through the late 1930's. The patterns and methods were standardized to ensure quality, while the use of reclaimed silk and hook weaving provide a distinct, handmade look and feel. These standardized patterns still had a limited run, as all handmade items do. Over time, mistreatment and mishap have made these mats an increasingly rare commodity. The colors on both sides are bright and vibrant, and the blend of cotton and silk is clearly recognizable to the touch. This particular pattern is an early geometric design that evokes the play of light across water. These designs are often rarer because they're less likely to be recognized as Grenfell in origin, and more likely to be mishandled as a result. The range and blend of colors in this piece is genuinely stunning.
