| Six small hooked rugs Great Cranberry Island Historical Society |
|
|
|  Six small hooked rugs Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Rugs. A collection of six small hooked rugs of various shapes, fabrics, sizes, and patterns - likely early 20th century and made locally. Donor's sister-in-law, Holly Hartley, a summer resident in the house on Preble Cove, GCI, that donor now owns and where the rugs were used recalls: "The two worn, rectangular rugs are very familiar to me. I'm certain that my grandmother collected them, as I am sure they were in the house from the time I first came to Cranberry in 1946 at 2-years-old. The other two are not familiar to me. They seem a different aesthetic entirely - multiple types of flowers, lots of different colors, the use of shading. I wonder whether or not my Mother or my sister Vicky collected them. I know my grandmother had braided rugs that were made by Margie Phippen and her sister Hilde Spurling and their mother, Pink Bulger. No 6 is very familiar to me and I also think no 5 was in the house for a long time. I am now asking myself their locations in the house. I know we walked on them and I think they were in hallways and bedrooms. I still don't know the artist but I think these two are among the older ones." See photographs of backs and fronts of each rug. [show more] | |||

|  Rug made by Cora Spurling Richardson Chapman Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Description: Rug, braided with hooked center.

Donor Charlotte Harlan wrote 9/21/2016 and 10/8/16: "That rug belonged to my Aunt Virginia. She was my mother's youngest sister, my grandfather Charles Henry Bulger's daughter. We believe that the rug was made by Aunt Cora [Cora Spurling Richardson Chapman b. July 3, 1863], who lived in the house where the Dowlings live now. My mother spoke of her Aunt Cora quite often. She made a lot of braided rugs. [show more] | ||
