Believe it or not, I see a lot more antique rugs than are posted. Only ones I save and show are those which are interesting to me. Okay, now I'm going to eat my words....this next floral would make the most beautiful purse. Since it was hooked on burlap probably wouldn't hold up under use. Perhaps that's why someone tacked it onto a wooden frame to secure its beauty. No date was given and think I found it on eBay.
This cat family (35 x 64) is still for sale. There have been 2 bids and price is presently at $40. Auction will end April 30th.
The farm scene below is on the same auction site and measures 29.5 x 40.
Looks like show horses below and was in a previous auction with 3 other rugs. No information was provided.
Another still up for sale is this Native American encampment 18 x 41 but no date provided. Since I'm doing Native American rugs, this one below measures 34 x 65 and from the collection of Jack D. Smith. Naturally every horse gets my attention. Said to be hooked late 19th to early 20th century. Love those faded colors. Something about faded and blotchy backgrounds.
And for the canine folks, there's this beautiful pup but no other information.
That's it for today's show. Hope you enjoy the weekend coming up and happy hooking, stitching or, as Elaine is probably doing....knitting.
