Am happy to have the de-wormer project of Circles on my frame but I'm still looking for a super star. Meanwhile here is a rug found in Berks County of a trotting horse. It measures 30.5 x 37 and hooked 19th century.
Below is an unusual geometric with dimensions of 18 x 36.
This yarn sewn Tiger rug sold for $8,610 but don't have a year that sale took place. Said to be hooked 19th century and measures 34 x 70. I really like this eagle rug below but don't have any other info. It does look too pristine to be an antique. If anyone knows who the designer is please let me know.
I'm wondering what antique inspired the rug above and the one below (which is in the Barb Carroll rug pattern line) ... Sorry the photo is so blurry.
...or perhaps inspired the pattern below known as The Poser and hooked by Lauren. Would love to find the original antique which was the inspiration for all three.
Basket of flowers with tile border, 38 x 50.5.
Just a regular old chicken, no date was provided. I'm guessing those corners depict chicken feet marks; at least that is my thought.
The horse rug below was said to be hooked in the 1880's.
Some rain came thru this afternoon and I tried to chase it elsewhere but don't know if I was successful. Hopefully it is gone for the day to parts unknown. Happy hooking.

I'm curious on how that yarn sewn tiger rug was made. I tried to enlarge the picture but the original photo is a bit blurry. The horse rug on the top has well balanced colors in it and looks kind of regal with its big tail. I say this but I'm not good at critiquing antique rugs. Thanks for the rug show again.

I love the 1849 eagle...great design elements and wonderful colors. Almost looks like a fraktur piece. Fingers crossed your rain is blowing this way....We are still holding at a 70% chance for tomorrow. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteSo the “just a chicken” I actually really like. What I think I like is that the light in the bird and the light of the background appear about the same. It makes it almost look like a pencil rubbing effect. That’s as close as I can describe it. š«£

Another great show! As always the horses mats sing to me but the eagle is extraordinary! If I had to date it I would guess recent. Wow.
ReplyDeleteYou can have some of our rain please. We’ve been soggy since June.
Yes, the rug is was hooked a few years ago. It is my adaptation!
