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.

What a treasure! It's amazing to think about how these artists produced such beautiful pieces considering the availability of materials at that time.

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