Despite what Lauren says, I do have something to show on the Cottage rug, but thought you deserved a little treat, little variety and not the same ol same ol.
For your entertainment I'll show a few antique hooked rugs. First up is a rug depicting a Horse, Dog, heart and bird. It measures 34 x 37 and hooked late 19th or early 20th century. From the collection of Barbara and Charlie Hunter.
Had to chuckle at the description of this next rug. It sure appears to me to be two dogs. If you tap the photo and read the note at the bottom the description is "Folk art hooked rug of facing goats". Goats? First of all goats don't have tails like that. The dimensions are 28 x 35.
The rug below has a central 6 point Star, flower buds and scrolls. It has been worn but no frayed edges.
Primitive black horse with no date or dimensions. To me it appears to be stars randomly hooked with similar colors of different values in the corners.
Hagerstown Pup, sorry, no other info on that either.
A Sandpiper original antique hooked 1920 so is in public domain. The original measures 17 x 28.5. If you click on the photo you can see where some loops are missing.
It's a sauna outside folks so I'll be spending most of my day inside with the A/C. Happy hooking
Saundra
