Aged Well Hooked Rugs

Biding time to finish Early Farm Scene thought I'd show you some old rugs.  It is the aged rugs which make my heart go pitter patter and why I try to hook that look into my adaptations.

 Compote of Flowers was hooked in the 19th century and measures 22 x 33.
Bunnies and Hearts with hit and miss background was hooked by Maria Beck Warning in 1884.
This Ship at Sea was hooked 1920 and is more whimsical than most old ship hooked rugs I've seen before.
I think the hooked dog rug resembles a Pug.   It was hooked late 19th or early 20th century... you're welcome Lauren (Rugs and Pugs).
A beautiful floral shirred rug but have no date.
Central Horse with diamond shapes, some joined to make 6 pointed stars.
This antique hearts rug below I first saw on Kelley's blog.  Was hooked between 1880 and 1910 and measures 32 x 52.
Have a great evening.  Now back to finish my rug and decide which color will remain in the rug....red or purple.
