Luckily an auction house listed a couple rugs so have some new items to share. This first one looks familiar so must not be its first time to be offered for sale. The rug was hooked late 19th century and from the collection of Nancy and Gary Stass. It measures 26.5 x 56. There's too much 'in your face' bright red for me. But do like the design.
A lion, one of my older saved photos with no info, not even dimensions. Roosters dated late 19th to early 20th century (29 x 53.5) from the collection of Deb Fisher. Shame this landscape below is so tattered; looks like a Canadian style. A snow scene measuring 16 x 36. No date was provided.
Next one caught my eye, listed as a white deer, circa 1900, measuring 26 x 34.5. Deer are quite delicate looking but the lines on this one is unusually delicate. If I didn't have something on my frame think I would draw it up to hook before changing my mind. Love its quirkiness and blotchy spots.
Saw this two deer rug at an antique show on FB and wish I knew more about it.
Black cats circa 1900 measures 26 x 46. A chenille shirred floral circa 1830 (29.5 x 59). Sure did maintain it's color and with just a little damage that I can see in the photo along the edge. A dog hooked late 19th century measuring 31 x 45. And lastly, a duck runner rug. It is cute and reminds me of the shooting gallery at carnivals I remember as a kid and which we see in nostalgic movies. Size is 24.5 x 81.5, circa 1910. This evening before going to bed I'll put my dried black eye peas in soak overnight and prepare them for my New Year's eve dinner and even better the next day for New Years Day lunch. It is a Southern tradition my mother did and one I continue~ not the hoppin' John recipe tho. You can read about the 'Good Luck' New Year's meal traditions of various cultures HERE.
