¢“Drawn-In”’ Rugs 
 
 I sometimes wonder if people really appreciate the simple charm of 
 “drawn-in” (hooked) rugs. Oh, I know connoisseurs do, and that, now 
 and again, unbelievably high prices are paid for historical or landscape 
 patterns. But I mean everybody, everybody who loves old furniture, and 
 its unpretending homeliness which was the background of our ancestors’ 
 lives. In no sense do they become lofty chambers of magnificence; rooms 
 where Sheraton settees in the golden tones Time has polished to a subdued 
 radiance, or subtly carved ribbon-backed Chippendale chairs agree in 
 eighteenth century perfection with inlaid Hepplewhite card-tables, for 
 these demand the finest Oriental weaves. But with the plainer Colonial oak 
 (if we are fortunate enough to have it) or peasant furniture from England 
 and France; with Windsor or stenciled chairs and the drop-leaved tables 
 and the flat-topped, unpretentious highboys that all our forefathers once 
 possessed, they are admirable. Indeed, I don’t know any other thing that 
 quite takes their place; they have a finer color-value than either braided or 
 woven rugs, and infinitely more personality and presence. 
 
 It is just this vivid personal quality I want to stress,for, in some way, it 
 makes them akin to the direct craftsmanship of the furniture. That’s why 
 I hate what the old countrywomen hereabouts call “boughten patterns.” 
 These completely lack the naive spontaniety which women, working by the 
 fireside on snowbound afternoons, or in the long hours of winter evenings, 
 were able to create upon their canvasses, strips of stretched burlap, with 
 their colors, home-dyed pieces of wool and skeins of yarn. They reflected 
 the life around them: the cat sleeping on the hearth, their memories of 
 gold and crimson autumn, the blues of the faiénce upon the tall mantel. 
 
 Nowhere else, except in the pages of the mediaeval miniaturists who 
 worked with precisely the same feeling, do flowers bloom in the same pro- 
 fusion of unpremeditated art. I have just been examining an illustration 
 of “Le Roman de la Rose’, and, if I showed it to you, covering the figures 
 with my hand, and you saw just the blossoms, you’d swear that you were 
 looking at a North-Country hooked-rug. I fancy they must have some 
 quality of eternal-ness. As most of us know them, even at their best, they 
 are an early nineteenth century craft. Two rare examples, variants of the 
 eighteenth century, I have seen, and that is all. But they are akin to old 
 honey-dark oak, and the simpler eighteenth century furniture, for they are 
 the lineal descendants of the “Turkey-work” done to beguile the tedium of 
 
method and result, es in We finely aoe and sh 
 work is almost exactly the same. 
 
 Hooked rugs are nota revival, but a gentle continual 
 
 this decorating truth ; that no ‘collection of old furniture i is 1 
 plete without them.
