Donor is a spinner and weaver, and lectures about heritage textiles. She noticed GCIHS had a wheel with no base in collection (GCIHS 2015.312.2072). The two parts married up perfectly.

Hooked rug with crab motif Great Cranberry Island Historical Society	Object, Furnishings, Rug	Organizations, Civic Other		No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only	Hooked rug with crab motif Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Identifier: gcihs-2005.138.2025 Type: Object, Furnishings, Rug Subject: Organizations, Civic Other Description: Rug. Green and beige crab motif. Hooked, wool, sheared on burlap, 29.5" x 64.5". Made on Cranberry Isles 1902-1905. One of two similar rugs from same donor. (See 2005.138.2026 dog-motif rug.) Donor states her sister recovered this rug from the storage shed at their parents' house in New Hampshire after reading the Bangor Daily News article about her earlier donation of the dog-motif rug; and that this rug was repaired in the same manner as that rug, but is in much better condition. This rug lacks the CR monogram that was usually worked into one corner or on the selvage at the back of rugs that were made specifically by the Cranberry Island Club rug makers at the turn of the century. But it likely shares the provenance of the dog-motif rug described by its donor and its connection to Miriam P. Reynolds of Northeast Harbor and her family's New Hampshire connection. From "Bulletin of the Bureau of Labor", #55 (Nov. 1904), pp 1573-1622, the article "The Revival of Handicrafts in America." by Max West, Ph. D. states: Cranberry Islanders ".... were already familiar with the process of hooking rugs; and they were fortunate in having the benefit of the initiative, moral support, and financial backing of Mrs. Seth Low, Miss Miriam P. Reynolds, and one or two other New York women whose summer homes are at Northeast Harbor, as well as in obtaining the aid of capable designers. The industry was started on a small scale in the autumn of 1901, under the supervision of Miss Amy Mali Hicks, a designer identified with the arts and crafts movement in New York City, who designed the patterns and gave instruction in dyeing, etc. ..."

Six small hooked rugs Great Cranberry Island Historical Society	Object, Furnishings, Rug	Other		No Copyright - Non-Commercial Use Only	Six small hooked rugs Great Cranberry Island Historical Society Identifier: gcihs-2016.359.2124 Type: Object, Furnishings, Rug Subject: Other 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]
