Rugs to Enjoy

These beautiful rugs are antiques and some are Grenfell style date of hooking unknown.

The one below I saved from an auction site and information provided was ~ Pazyryk rug, detail of a moose, c.2300 BC.  Wowzer, talk about survival of a textile.
Just stumbled upon a LOT of Grenfell style hooked rugs which are up for auction by the 17th.  They are from the Canadian estate of a very prolific hooker or lover of Grenfell style hooked rugs.  If interested in purchasing any of these here is the link to Invaluable auction site.


















Enjoy.

  2. That is quite a rug show. Amazing about that old moose rug. I wonder how they can know the age for sure.
