A rare and highly collectible vintage Grenfell hooked mat featuring a stylized map of Newfoundland and Labrador, beautifully framed for display. This charming folk art textile depicts coastal outlines along with whimsical elements including sailing ships, whales, a seal, and mission locations—capturing the spirit of early Grenfell mission craftsmanship.
Executed in warm tones of coral, blue, and cream, the design is both decorative and historically meaningful. Grenfell mats were hand-hooked in Labrador as part of a mission initiative, often using recycled materials, making each example unique and deeply rooted in Canadian heritage.
This piece is professionally framed with a wide neutral mat and dark inner border, enhancing contrast and presentation. Ready to hang, it makes a standout addition to any maritime, folk art, or Canadiana collection. A wonderful and authentic piece of Grenfell craftsmanship, ideal for collectors of Canadian folk art, nautical decor, or historic textiles.
Good vintage condition with visible age-related wear. There is some even wear to the hooked wool and minor fading consistent with age, along with slight irregularities in the textile typical of handmade pieces. Frame and backing are solid and ready for display. Please refer to the listing images for close-up photos of the item’s condition.
