It's been two weeks since I posted old rugs so thought it was about time for another show. Yeah, it's true my radar always finds deer rugs and horse rugs. No date on it sadly, but dimensions are 27 x 37. Wish there had been a photo of the back to see original colors as I'm wondering if the triangle border colors were more distinct before soiling during use.
In case you're wondering, no that isn't the one I'm considering hooking next. Below is the one I'm eyeing. But then I also like this one and have had the photo for a couple years. Love the earthy colors of all three rugs.
Three dainty flowers and an unusual way to do a hit and miss by puzzle piece style hooking in colors.
Another set of three ~ three pots of flowers with hit and miss border.
Half-round welcome mat, beautifully done using up textured wool. Late 19th or early 20th century.A geometric hooked late 19th early 20th century, measures 25.5 x 35. A dog with a squirrel outline hooked 19th century. It measures 19 x 34.5. I've never hooked a rug with fringe. The fringe would be the color of your foundation so if you wanted color the foundation would need to be dyed first. Also you'd need a bigger perimeter of linen around the rug or at the ends if that's where you wanted the fringe. Pretty landsape with a girl depicted larger than the vehicle which is typical in primitive rug hooking. It measures 27 x 48 and hooked early 20th century.
Time for lunch and then feed the sheep some wool strips.

ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for deer too...whether stitched or hooked. You couldn't go wrong with any of the 3 deer you've found. It's my hope to get to my stag rug...soon, very soon. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteThanks for the antique rug show. I like the first deer rug but I would not hook those two black triangles on under their hooves. I'm sure that you've already picked one up by now.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
