A beautiful early 20th century, wool rug by Blackwood, Morton & Sons of Kilmarnock. Kilmarnock in Scotland was a centre for the weaving of Ingrain or Scotch carpets since the late 18th century. By the beginning of the 20th century only one firm remained, and in 1908 it was taken over by William Blackwood and Gavin Morton who formed Blackwood Morton & Sons of Kilmarnock (BMK). Manufacture of Art Squares and Scotch Carpeting continued but was supplemented by a range of reversible Chenille wool rugs. In 1932, the old plant was scrapped and a new plant constructed with manufacturing concentrating on Spool and Chenille Squares, piece goods, and rugs for the mid-priced market. At about the same time it took over the famous British Wilton producer, Cooke Sons & Co. BMK was at the forefront of industry developments, mothproofing its carpets well before it became industry standard in the mid 1950s.
