Story Behind the Art: With roots in America’s textile innovation era, the hand-tufted rug technique emerged in Dalton, Georgia, during the late 1800s, revolutionizing global rug production. The process begins with artisans stretching a pattern-marked canvas, then using a tufting gun to shoot wool or blended yarn through the backing to form piles of varying heights. These are later sheared, looped, or sculpted to achieve intricate patterns and textures. The result is a luxurious, multi-dimensional surface that mirrors the feel of hand-knotted rugs but with faster production. Hand-tufted rugs are cherished for their soft underfoot comfort, bold modern designs, and customizable aesthetics. They represent the meeting point between traditional artistry and industrial precision, enabling the creation of affordable, durable, and artistically expressive floor art for homes and studios alike.
