Story Behind the Art: The modern hand-tufted rug traces its origins to late 19th-century Dalton, Georgia, where early tufting techniques evolved into the foundation of contemporary rug making. This American innovation transformed the textile industry by introducing accessible luxury through artistry and technology. In a hand-tufted rug, artisans stretch a canvas backing, marking the design before inserting yarn—typically wool—using a tufting gun. Each loop or cut is carefully shaped to build depth, pile variation, and tactile dimension. Depending on the artisan’s technique, the rug may feature loop, cut, or combined piles, resulting in plush textures and vibrant detailing. This hybrid method bridges traditional craft and modern efficiency, producing rugs that are visually rich, durable, and affordable. Revered for their designer color palettes and artistic versatility, hand-tufted rugs remain an enduring favorite for contemporary interiors worldwide.
