EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Shaker Woolen Rug, created by George V. Vezolles between 1935 and 1942, is a captivating example of American decorative arts from the 20th century. The rectangular rug, with its distinctive floral pattern, is a testament to the functional yet artistic design sensibilities of the Shaker community. Vezolles, an accomplished artist, brought his unique vision to this piece through the use of watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paper. The intricate floral design, rendered in rich, multicolored hues, is a reflection of the Shaker tradition of incorporating natural elements into their crafts. The rug's shape and size are typical of Shaker textiles, which were often used for both decorative and functional purposes in the home. This particular piece, with its vibrant colors and intricate pattern, would have added a touch of beauty and warmth to any room. The Shaker Woolen Rug is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American craft and design from the colonial period to the 1940s. Today, it can be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. This rug is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Shaker community and the artistic talents of George V. Vezolles. Its intricate design and rich colors make it a beloved item of American heritage art and a must-see for anyone interested in the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s.
