It's another rug show. Maybe something will inspire your creativity. This old floral (39 x 40) was given a date between 1850-1899. It must have been stored away or placed in a low or no activity area as it maintained it's lovely vibrant colors.
A view of the back and repair of one area.
Next, a geometric circa 1920 measuring 23 x 38.
I think this landscape is endearing with it's childlike naïve charm. Said to be hooked early 20th century with dimensions of 19.5 x 35.5. There's something about Lions, I've hooked 5 rugs with a lion in them. Of course they don't hold a candle to my love for horses. Anyhow, this rug has a date of 1857 hooked in it and measures 34.5 x 43. And a closeup of the hooked date.
A recent find and still listed for sale is this nautical 8 point star. I'm guessing the side border designs are diver down flags. No date was provided but size is 36 x 52.
Here is a view of the back.
I like this rug with flowers and scrolls, but not enough to hook it. Think I'm more attracted to the color combo and scrolls than the flowers. Dated 19th century (24 x 46.5).
Okay, gotta put a horse rug in here. This one has squirrels (fuzzy tailed rats) in the corners. Date of 1898 hooked in the rug and measures 26 x 39.5.
Happy hooking everyone.
