ANTIQUE HOOKED RUGS

There are a few Hutchinson and folk art rugs listed for sale this week.  Will start with the Hutchinson designs ~ Home from the Picnic measures 24 x 48. 

The Circus, Oh Good is 32 x 32.

Not my ship, but a Hutchinson design named California or Bust 35 x 58.

The next one may not be a Hutchinson design but was among the group in the auction.  Nero was probably the name of the horse and dimensions are 34 x 47.

I scoured the following folk art rugs to see if they were hooked by Nancy Gertrude Scott but they don't appear to be.   A black cat chasing kids measures 19 x 38 and from the estate of Larry and Jean Dubord.

Another rug from the estate of the Dubord's is the horse and buggy.  It was hooked early 20th century and measures 32 x 39.

This pot of flowers and bird rug was found in June but just now posting it. Was hoping to locate it again and learn more about it but didn't so showing it now.  Wish they had posted a photo of the back to see what the true colors were.

Sadly I know nothing about this rooster and floral rug either.  It looks a little too new, me thinks, to be considered an antique.

There's something endearing about the landscape rug below.   Again there's no information provided, not even size.

Well that's it for today on this rainy day.  Yesterday it got so hot the A/C kicked in.  Today is 180 degree different and will probably have to put on sweats.  But, will be a good day for me to hook more on The Ark.  Happy hooking.

A Few Vintage Rugs

I'm in the mood to look at a few old rugs, how about you?  Every once in a while I just need that 'fix'.  

Welcome ~ the rug with a beautiful leaf border was hooked late 19th century and measures 31 x 60.

Primitive hooked Chickens measures 19 x 40 and the auction site dated it between 1900-1920.

Apple Tree Farm was hooked around 1820-30 and measures  33 x 58.  

Below is a well worn rug of a Chicken with a neutral hit and miss striped border.  It  measures 41 x 57.

Here is a flower pot with geometric corners but no dimensions or date provided.

Documented as Maria Beck Warning's Rabbits (1884) it is offered by the Textile Museum of Canada.  The rug measures  27 x 53.

Gee, there isn't one horse rug here so better go find one.  Hmm, let's make that two😊.  Two versions of Hutchinson designs about the Father of our Country George Washington.

Happy hooking and would like to thank everyone for the kind words you said about my profile of Ben so far.
