Yes, I've been perusing auction houses again looking for old rugs. This one surprised me, not that I want to hook it. At first thought perhaps it was a printed pattern sold by a tin peddler and hooked by a professional. Partly due to the fringe at the bottom and also the creative design. Fringes are easy to do and sturdy when using a good linen foundation.
It looked to me like a period piece by the appearance of the woman, riding her horse thru the woods. The rug measures 24 x 32 and was hooked on a burlap sack. Yup. That woman had artistic talent as for sure I couldn't draw this design freehand on burlap.
Thunderstorms predicted for today and humidity back but thankfully slightly lower temps. It's the humidity that bothers me most. Hope you have a lovely day.

The rug is very different…and doesn’t appeal to me in the least.
ReplyDeleteWe had a quick t’storm roll thru this evening. I will take any rain we can get!
That is a very weird rug to me. My maternal gramma used to purchase feed sacks by their fabric and made quilts out of them. We had a thunderstorm move in last evening. We really needed the rain. Janice
ReplyDeleteThat rug looks like the woman is in fancy clothing , like she is someone from aristocracy .
ReplyDeleteIt was warm & humid here yesterday and today , but the weekend should be really more comfortable ..I need to pull big weeds !!!
Definitely a unique rug. I am not a fan of rugs, I prefer tiles and hardwood floors. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...looks very 1920's-ish to me? Maybe due to the hairstyle? (Of the woman...not the horse LOL) One would think there were a finite number of "old" rugs out there...even more so "old" "horse" rugs...but you keep finding them. We're heating up here again...this weekend and early next week sound to be sweltering when the oppressive humidity is figured in. Hope you had a lovely day as well.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. You are right great artistic ability.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful day today but humidity and heat coming back.
