You knew there would be another vintage rug show about now so let's get right to it shall we?
A nice Bird and Floral rug measuring 28.5 x 40 and said to be hooked late 19th century. If you look closely there's a slight color change in the background and yes there is also the dark coloration as well.
Magdalena's rug Dog and Crows rug sold for $20,315 November 2021. It is circa 1885 and the original measured 36 x 48.5. Wow, wonder what she would have to say about her 'rag rugs' bringing in that much money from collectors.
Nice primitive rug design and colors below. I've lots of selvages saved to do a geometric and just might do something like this ...one of these days. No date nor dimensions were provided.
Dog and flowers measures 32 x 54 and said to be hooked around 1920. It isn't my favorite but saved for those who may like it. Maybe if different colors were used for the flowers and background color I'd love it.
Hot as hades here folks AND humid. So I'll be staying in and hooking in the A/C. Will ride my bike to get the mail instead of walking the round trip mile.
Happy hooking.

Love the Lion Welcome design too ! I would change the Lions to dogs though !
ReplyDeleteLove the border on the last one , looks like an exotic cat to me !
Hot here too , the weeds are just loving this weather !
Wow on the price that the Magdalena rug sold for. Someone must be a serious collector. I like the geometric. I hooked a chair cover in almost the same pattern. That cat might have been a Tabby cat. I don't know much about cats but I've had some over the years and they were all stray cats.
ReplyDeleteHumid here too today but cool in the house. I've got two dehumidifiers going in the basement and have to empty them twice a day.
Hugs,
Julia
Always love your rug shows and wow on that rug!

What a treat to see these rugs. Youzers on the Magdalena rug. Too expensive for my blood, but am sure collectors do not see it that way...especially those with money. Janice
ReplyDeleteOh they are all wonderful of course. That Penn Dutch one is sure intriguing! I'm off to see what else you've been up to :-)
ReplyDeleteWow!!!great that rug sold at such great price,,,
ReplyDeleteLove the mats,,,,
Oooo...that cat rug is so cool. I think it's exotic domestic cat. How's that for a lawyerly answer.... 🤣 ~Robin~ (TheCrankyCrow)
ReplyDeleteAnother great showing of the old rugs. Of course my favorite is your Dog and Crow. Could that sweet doggie be my Millie? :~) But, the first rug, the bird and floral is oh so wonderful. I have been looking back at some of your earlier posts and enjoyed them so much. How I would like to have time to read this entire blog.
