The ends of the carpet are edged with a 7.5 cm long, fringed binding attached by hand sewn stitches. The wrong side of this edge has a woven coarse-grained tape, machine-sewn and glued in place. The dark brown glue has stained the tape in many places. Red wool forms a close stitched edging on the long sides of the carpet, held in place with cotton zigzag stitches on the wrong side. |
| Fonctions : | This item was donated by Geoffrey Harris Sayers. Geoffrey Sayers and his sisters, Dora Sayers Caro, and Barbara Sayers Larson donated Benares Historic House to the Ontario Heritage Foundation in 1969. It has operated as a museum under the City of Mississauga since 1995 and was officially transferred to Mississauga in 2000. Geoffrey Sayers and his wife Kathleen (n‚e Colloton) occupied Benares from 1969 until 1981. During that time, they acted as care takers of the estate on behalf of the Ontario Heritage Foundation. They kept a small display of artifacts in the kitchen, and opened up the house once a year to the public. He also maintained the Benares financial affairs in 1932 for Naomi (Na) and Mary, who were unable to do so themselves. |
