Reproduction and Vintage Carpet
After careful analysis of antique rugs from the 1800's, I have reproduced some favorites from this era. To recreate the antique quality I use a finer weaving scale of 5 to 6 rows per inch and choose cloth typical of the era, sometimes over-dyeing or bleaching fabrics to approximate aging.
Antique early American list and Venetian rag "carpets" are the documents for this collection of authentic patterns. The combination of subdued and rich colors displayed in broad stripes and large plaids preserve these vintage floor coverings. Reproduction Rugs are woven with 100% cotton warp and cotton or cotton-blend fabric strips. Each rug is washable (care instructions included). Historical Reproductions are available in the following selections:
Jacob Hiestandt
Jacob Hiestandt (JH1) was reproduced from a photograph of an antique carpet in Winterthur Museum’s collection.
Additional colorways were developed to complement this wonderful design that features a dark and light “log cabin” element in the center of each stripe.

Venetian Carpet
Venetian carpet was the most popular rug choice in the first half of nineteenth century America. Its distinguishing characteristic is the brightly colored striping that occurs in the warp threads spaced so closely together that they actually cover the filler or weft.
- VC1 - Tan, Red, Charcoal, Sage, Black & Gold
- VC2 - Red, Green, Celadon, Tan, Brown & Gold
- VC2var - Red, Loden, Sage, Tan, Brown & Gold
- Vintage Ticking - Maize, Adobe, Avocado, Charcoal, Blue
- Just Stripes - Loden, Kentucky Cardinal, Cocoa, Maize, Natural
- Indian Summer - Adobe, Khaki, Turquoise, Maize, Olive
There is little evidence that these rugs were ever produced in Venice, but the name could have been associated with the reputation Venice's many dye houses had for their brightly colored fabrics. Our rugs capture the essence of these handsome striped carpets and are extremely durable at 36 warp threads per inch. |
Federal Hill
Federal Hill was reproduced from an antique rug in a private collection.
