Old Rugs on My Mind

...anyone else up for seeing some old rugs??  This rug  was described as 'Folky Blue Birds' hooked between 1930-39 and found in Lancaster, PA.  Auction house said it measures 23 x 40.

Colorful geometric with block background.  Little things drive me crazy with wonder on the mind of the hooker.  Like why did the hooker add that little red line in the left "C"?  Had she not, it would have had the same characteristics of the right side.  Plus, she didn't use that tidbit of red to fill in the connective V between.  Said to have been hooked pre 1900 and measured 21 x 41.

A concentric floral with the rectangle under the square being a little off kilter and endearing to me.  No date or dimensions given.

From the estate of a horse farm comes this Gold Horse with horse shoes in the corners and subdued flowers.  Was hooked mid 20th century no dimensions provided.

A Dog at Rest from the estate of Gail and Charlie Lohr, Rockingham County, VA.  Rug measures 17 x 18.5 and hooked early 20th century.

A Bird late 19th century which is one we've all seen numerous times in books.  Measures 22 x 33.

Two cats in oval with hit and miss border, hooked 1885 per auction house.

This Indian Brave surrounded by a geometric design was hooked around 1920 and comes from Thomaston, Maine.  Measures 20 x 40.

Hope you enjoyed the show.
