MORE OLD RUGS

I've done a tad more tweaking on Mother's mat but not ready to show photos yet as I want to work on her eye again.  Frankly I can only stand a little at a time tweaking as it is stressful for me.  So will show you some old rugs instead.

Lovely rug of birds with fern-like scrolls measuring 35.5 x 58; no date provided.

Here is a close up of a corner on the  back.  Must have some age to it as the rug was hooked though all layers to the edge as they did 'back in the day'.

At first glance the rug below looks more like a painting, but it is a hooked rug and was listed on Bidsquare.  Sadly I couldn't obtain any more info.

The cat must have been more important to the hooker than the dog as it  is more prominent.  Hooked late 19th century and measures 17 x 58.

Here is a close up of the bird in flight so you can see the variety of textiles used.

Primitive floral with scrolls  ~ 25 x 34.

A geometric hooked early 20th century and measuring 24 x 36.

Here is a closer view of a corner.

Another geo of sorts is this standing wool rug made in the 1800's measuring 27 x 50.

Here is a close up. Bet it was a plush and cushy rug to stand on.

Horse with soft or faded colors and measuring 27.5 x 41.  Wish I could have seen the back to determine if it was faded or hooked in pastel colors.

A Jester sitting on sliver of a moon said to be hooked1940 so not really an antique.  Dimensions are 18 x 36.

Here is a back view and appears to be hooked on burlap

Happy weekend despite the heat and humidity.  But hear next week will be a welcomed temperature change.
