This rug was made and sold by Doukhobors living in South Slocan in the 1930s.

Lottie Morton, local pioneer, purchased the rug and Val Morton provided the accompanying note [sic]:

"This, whatever its called, was always over the back of the little red rockin chair with the leather seat. It was made by the Doukhobors at South Slocan in the mid 1930s...the Folks would buy their very heavy wool sox and mitts made by them, rite from sheep to chair, feels or hands. i believe they produced and sold linen goods, its much faded, its gone with no bathing...over 50 years. Lottie Morton 106 Slewiskin Crick." - Val Morton
