It has been a month since posting an antique rug show so guess it's about time to do another. First photo is a dog and kids, said to be hooked late 19th to early 20th century with dimensions of 29 x 49.
A faded General George Washington rug, no date or dimensions provided.
Another George Washington rug circa 1900, 35.5 x 47.5.Home Sweet Home with date of 1922 hooked in.
A horse with a corner cut off with no explanation as to reason ~ maybe damaged and salvaged or perhaps cut to fit in a certain area after it was hooked. Size is 18 x 36 and hooked late 19 to early 20th century.
A landscape early 20th century 17 x 34.5
Another dog rug with leaves at the corners measures 29 x 75.
Recently found this cats rug and is still offered for sale. Said to be a Mennonite hooked rug from 19th century (25 x 39).
And, another horse, this one with an odd looking mane. Looks more like a blanket thrown across it's neck than a mane. Hooked 1930, 34.5 x 44.5. That's it for this rug show. Meanwhile I'm working on my collection of hand hooked rugs for this year. Enjoy you long Labor Day weekend and happy hooking.

Has it really been a month?
ReplyDeleteSome fun rugs!
Great rugs!! I like the horse ones in this show a lot (or is it that your love of horse rugs is wearing off on me??) but the G. Washingtons one are especially endearing . And that Pasture Pals one strikes my fancy as well - certainly doesn't look that old!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful rugs this time I cannot choose a favorite. Have never seen a George Washington one and now you show two of them. Great job bringing these to us in this post. Janice
ReplyDeleteWow 2 Georges. Maybe there was a hook-along way back then. Ha
ReplyDeleteA fun rug show ....I like the idea of the kids with their dog .....Love the 2nd George Washington ...and houses always get my attention ! Happy Labor Day !
ReplyDeleteWhat you are calling Pasture Pals is a newer rug hooked from a pattern from Black Sheep Wool Designs #340 “The Barnyard”
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll go check it out and remove the photo from my post.
