A wonderful example of early Canadian folk art, this vintage Grenfell Industries hooked mat depicts a majestic snow goose in flight above a stand of evergreen trees against a blue sky. Dating to the 1930s, the mat retains its original character and is professionally framed under glass with a linen mat and black frame.
Grenfell mats were handcrafted by artisans in Newfoundland and Labrador as part of the renowned Grenfell Mission industries, making them highly sought-after examples of Canadian textile folk art.
This beautifully presented piece would make an outstanding addition to a collection of Grenfell handicrafts, Canadian folk art, or wildlife-themed decor.

Very good vintage condition overall. The hooked mat displays well with vibrant colours and appears to be in excellent condition behind glass. The frame has minor scuffs including a very small chip on the edge. Backing paper shows age-related wrinkling and there are labels and framing information attached to the reverse. Wired and ready to hang.
