Thought you'd enjoy a change of scenery and look at a few old rugs; but don't worry I'll continue to post updates of rabbit rugs.
Cats and Flowers was hooked 1889 and measures 22.5 x 51. See that fold down the center? Folding a rug is never a good idea. If you aren't going to display it please roll the rug with the hooking on the outside before storing.
An American Eagle hooked in the 19th century with dimensions of 24 x 37. Note this rug was also folded and it does leave a permanent scar and damage to the rug.
Here's a view of the back so you can see unfaded colors.

If the squirrel rug had been hooked in more earthy colors this would probably make a nice rug. Sorry, don't have provenance or dimensions but was hooked 1905.
Below is a photo which shows a close up of the various textiles used.
A Black and Red horse measuring 22.5 x 33.5 and said to be hooked late 19th or early 20th century. I love all horse rugs.
A simple yet nice design of Birds Buds and Scrolls. No date or dimensions were provided.
Spring is coming and here is a rug with Tulips measuring 16 x 23. This is the front and was hooked 1930.

And a view of the back, these were screen shots as I couldn't save them in jpeg otherwise.
Not considered an antique as it was hooked 1940 but interesting nonetheless is this Map of the US from an estate of the late Karen Tosterud.

Hardly visible, on the back is inscribed "For Peter Stone on his birthday 11/10/1940 with Carlo's love" It measures 27 x 41.
Hope you enjoyed the show and posting Dancing Rabbits will continue on Wednesday so check back in the afternoon for those. Happy hooking.
