My flash drive is filled with mostly geometric and animal rugs so will post animal themed rugs this time. An orange red horse with leaf border, no date was provided.
This antique lion and trees rug sold for $6,875 (don't know which year) and measures 35 x 52.
I hooked an adaptation of this rug in 2012 which was color planned by the dearly departed rug hooker extraordinaire Barb Carroll.
Nine animal panels hooked early 20th century. Animals facing all four sides, dimensions are 36 x 40.5.
I love deer rugs but this is definitely not a color scheme I'd follow, too much bright red for me.
Dated 1885, this cat rug has a decorative felt edge. Measures 29 x 67.5.
Sure looks old but don't have details, someone who reads my blog loves chickens.
A naïve primitive barnyard animal rug with hit and miss border.
Promoted as "confetti horse" this 18 x 29.5 rug is from the collection of Ed and Anita Holden.
Below is a close up of one of the corners so you can see the textiles used.
Whoever hooked this must have had a dog that would hunt. In it's element, the dog in the cattails with doves and pheasants. Dated 1920 measures 32 x 55.
Scotties dated 1900-25.
Hooked horse (36 x 58) from the estate of George Fernald Chatham, NH. Wasn't sure what that white spot near the ears was all about as it didn't appear to be an eye. The auction house showed the back view of the rug but still didn't seem clear if it was a repair since it didn't have fabric in the area.
There are many more animal rugs on my flash drive, lots of eagles, geometrics and florals. So guess what you'll be seeing more of in future posts.
Do you believe just 8 more days until Christmas? This year has just slipped by in the flash of an eye. Yet it will seem like forever until spring gets here.

I like the first horse and the hunting dog, and also prefer Barb's version of the lion better than the antique. Yikes on the sold price. To rich for my blood. Janice
