Will give you a break from my rugs, and do a post with old ones, some vintage some antique. A rooster on red fence circa 1900. It measures 28 x 30 and is from the collection of Travis Hemlepp. If you click to enlarge you can see the scrappy look of the cotton and other textiles used.
A Hutchinson design depicting Noah's Ark, circa 1930 (30 x 55). Deer and Birds, no other information provided. This rug below can be seen spread across 2 pages in a Kopp publication called Art Underfoot. Said to be hooked 1828 and so nice to see it in one straight long photo instead spread across two pages of shiny paper.
Dog laying on a rug, no age of rug provided but measures 30 x 56. A stylized floral 16 x 22. I've seen a couple of this design so perhaps it was a pattern offered by a tin peddler or maybe even a newer design. Don't know since no time stamp was given to it. One such posting said it was a tree of life.
I haven't decided if the floral below is a grainy photo or if it is the style hooking. It was hooked (prodded or shirred) late 19th century and measures 22.5 x 39.
This rug of tulips could be an idea for a spring rug. It measures 28 x 52, no date provided but in looking at the border and the how it was self bound it appears safe to me.
A horse rug from Leatherwood Antiques. No size or age was provided. When looking at this all I can think about are some memes which would ask...'does this make me look fat'?
And last, a distressed rug of a cat and leaves. You can see the date hooked in and dimensions are 29 x 31. Another rainy day in this part of Delaware. Hopefully the rain sun will come out again tomorrow....or the next day, or the next?!%# Meanwhile, happily hooking here.

I can't say I love any of them but do appreciate them.

Another fine rug show. I did like your meme about being fat with that horse one. LOL Janice
ReplyDeleteRug shows are so interesting . Funny about the horse and being fat ! LOL
ReplyDeleteI actually like the ark rug and the cat one at the end. (Go figure, eh?). You wrote "hopefully the rain will come out again tomorrow...or the next day..." I assume you meant the sun?? LOL For the past two days the weather forecast said no chance of rain...and, each day, it has poured!! Today the rain was torrential and it was accompanied by thunder, lightning and huge hail...and I was caught in the middle of it. I tried to pull into the nearest gas station for some sort of cover but everyone had the same idea and I just had to sit and listen to it pound my vehicle. Hope there's no damage. I'll have to look more closely tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI think the horse is my favorite today. The expression on its face, I can't decide if the light spot on it's muzzle is a nostril or a smile. It's definitely a draft horse, not a race horse!
