This photograph shows an arrangement of woven and hooked items offered for sale by Allanstand Cottage Industries during the early 1900s. The salesroom opened in Asheville in 1908. A note on the back of the photograph reads: "Woven textiles, hooked mat & seatlets, woven bags, coverlet. Allanstand Cottage Industries, Asheville, N.C." Although the makers of these items is unknown, Allanstand's main source of weaving and hooking came from Madison County during this time period. The photograph was taken by Howard Studio, Asheville, N.C. and was probably used in a promotional brochure or price list as evidenced by the product inscriptions.
