The Hyde Hall Stair Carpet

The Hyde Hall stair carpet which we wove this winter, is being installed by David and Charlene Hunt of the Vermont Rug Company today.

The aubergine color in the border brings out the mahogany stair rail and treads. The very fine nose of each tread is a detail that I hadn’t noticed until the carpet was installed.
This is a Damask Venetian Carpet, which is a structure mentioned in inventories but rarely found as surviving fragments. We have a small border piece from the early 19th century and only images of surviving centers. Together we made this Venetian Damask carpet for Hyde Hall.

lilacgreyscarf

Spring Scarves from the latest Jacquard pattern. These are like heaven! They are soft and lightweight perfect for the upcoming Spring holidays. They feel like silk because they are. Actually they are a very fine cotton warp with Zephyr – a silk and merino worsted blend – so they are light, long durable and of course for sale! We only have a few in three different color ways. The lilac and gray, the indigo blue and cinnabar, and white very fine chenille. I want to get them out for folks to enjoy so super sale price of $55.00 They are going on on on line store in a few minutes…the pictures do not do them justice!
