Initialled by Georges Édouard Tremblay ca. 1950, this rug was designed by G. E. Tremblay and hooked by Clair Thibault under his direction.

When Tremblay was satisfied that a rug met his standards he allowed the apprentice rug hooker to apply his initials to the piece. Thereby giving it the prestige of being a "Tremblay Rug". The family of Claire Thibault also fabricated some carved pine frames that Georges used for his rugs over the years.

Georges Édouard Tremblay Bio Title


George Tremblay Bio Image Georges Tremblay was born in Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec in 1902. He studied art at the l’École des Arts Domestiques de Quebec and in Pointe-au-Pic, Quebec. Working in wool and other fibres, he is best known for his landscape textile tapestries and hooked rugs. He also painted the Quebec landscape and genre in watercolours. Georges Tremblay and the noted Canadian artist Clarence Gagnon were friends and often collaborated on each others works.

Tremblay’s textile works were exhibited at the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec, the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, the International Museum of Philadelphia in the USA as well as in many other venues in Canada and the US. These rugs were sold in many parts of Quebec, Ontario, the Northern New England states and in New York City. Georges was certainly well known for his talents as an artist and for rug hooking in his hometown of Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec, where after his passing the town named a street after him in his honour.

 

In the past decade Georges Tremblay’s hooked rugs have become especially sought after due to their high degree of artistic refinement and quality and continue to climb in value.

 

George-Édouard passed away in 1987.
