| 2016.373.1929 | Rug made by Cora Spurling Richardson Chapman |
|
| Rug, braided with hooked center. Concentric circles of brown, black, blue, tan, red, green, orange, and rose; the center is a hooked oblong, bordered in blue, with a depiction of a full basket of red, yellow, white, and tan flowers; on the reverse side, the central hooked area is covered with a green fabric protective patch. 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. |
