The Museum of Vancouver and Harvey Burritt’s 2nd Century Rug Company have joined forces to create Vancouver heritage products for your home. Inspired by artifacts from the museum’s archive, the rug company has created large scale area rugs using both contemporary technology and a hand-knotted rug technique. The rugs are part of the MOV’s retail collection created in partnership with Vancouver businesses and sold to benefit the museum’s special exhibitions and school programs.
The process was the rug company’s first venture into large-scale graphic transfer. For its first piece, it took Harvey’s grandfather’s 100-year-old handwritten business title and added a writing sample from Harvey’s father along with Harvey’s signature to create a rug capturing three generations of Burritt history.
All the rugs can be viewed and purchased at Harvey Burritt’s 2nd Century Rug Company.
