1940s Folk Art Heart Rug
We think there is no better way to brighten up a room than with a vintage or antique rug.
This folk art rug hails from France, and was made sometime in the 1940s.
Meticulously made with hundreds of small folded pieces of fabric remnants, the heart motif is surrounded by charming rosettes
It is entirely hand stitched, truly untold hours went into creating this piece. It has a sturdy cotton backing. Our personal suggestion is to use this rug displayed as the art work that it is on a wall, or perhaps on a table or bench. It could be used on the floor in a less trafficked area with thoughtfulness and care however.
Measurements laid flat: 26” x 60”
Condition
There is one loose section at the center seam of the heart, where the cardboard backing of the heart has cracked. Could be repaired with some stitches. Since this would interfere with the authenticity of the piece, we decided to leave this decision up to the new owner and not sew it ourselves. It is not as noticed when it lays flat.
Has a few minor rust spots on back.
This is a one of a kind piece, all photos have been taken in natural light and with limited editing to reflect its condition. Please keep in mind all antique pieces have little imperfections and reflect the story and charm of the piece.
This find will ship to you within one week of purchasing. International and combined shipping is available, please contact us via instagram DM at @Folkling or email for a personalized shipping quote.
