OLD RUG PICTURES TO SHARE

Other than hooking a rug this is my next favorite thing to do, look for antique rugs and sharing them with you.  Hooked 1878 notice the big horse and small bull.

Two cats hooked with cotton and wool on burlap 24 x 44 circa 1890.

America themed rugs are always a favorite of mine.  I've had a photo of this rug for a while and never posted it as I was afraid it was an antique adaptation.  However, recently found again on an auction site with the following information: Civil War era 1880 hooked with wool and cotton on burlap measuring 25 x 35.  

This next one has a Halloween appeal to me despite it being titled Goldilocks and the 3 Bears.  Size is 43 x 83 and said to be hooked early 20th century.  Goldilocks is barely visible and the bears look like robotic scary creatures to me.

This next one is a bias shirred rug from Maine which I recently drew for a customer.  Not sure the original size but she wanted hers 24 x 36.

Overlapping Circles hooked early 20th century measures 26 x 37.  

ALERT:  Robin, close your eyes as the next rug might bring an onset of ptsd.  Recently found was cats with a ball of yarn measuring 22 x 36 and hooked early 20th century.

What did capture my heart recently was this tattered Lamb Chair pad, 14 x 14.  I've had the photo for a few months and wanted to keep it for myself.  But decided to share it with you.  Right now it is the only thing posted here which steals my heart.

An attractive Floral dated 1890-1910 measures 33 x 37.

Will continue perusing the internet and my files searching for a design which makes my heart go pitter patter because I'm close to pulling the last loops on Deer and Blue House.  But.....there is still that contrary Comstock to work on.
