GEORGE BAIN (1881-1968) FOR QUAYLE & TRANTER LTD., KIDDERMINSTER CELTIC `HUNTING` CARPET, CIRCA 1948 the machine woven ivory field with central red octagonal Celtic knotwork medallion surrounded by huntsmen with dogs, deer, boar and horses within red and polychrome strapwork border 366cm x 272cm Note: George Bain was born in Scrabster in northern Scotland, and was an art teacher who almost single-handedly revived interest in Celtic and Insular art. His book `Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction` was published in 1951. Although it had little impact at the time, on its re-issue in 1971 it introduced a generation to Celtic knotwork, the Pictish stones, the Book of Kells and the Book of Durrow. As well as describing and illustrating over 200 historical examples, his book was notable for giving detailed instructions on creating similar interlace, spiral, and trumpet designs, and encouraging their use in craftwork.
