OUTSTANDING 19TH CENTURY HOOKED RUNNER.

OUTSTANDING 19TH CENTURY HOOKED RUNNER. Very rare form in an antique hooked rug. Hooked with cotton, wool and hemp. Circa 1880’s. The central rectangular field in a mottled black/green/gray has three opposing lyre forms formed with S-scrolls in red, yellow and green. Separated by two thistle branches having three red thistles and green leaves. The border with opposing triangles alternating in different colors. Found in Downeast Maine. SIZE: 105” l x 18” w. CONDITION: Very good. This rug was found in two pieces, which had binding. The binding was removed and the original ends were sewn together. We believe there was no loss to the ends that met and actually, because it was hidden by the border, the original colors show brighter. A most interesting folk art rug. 9-99229 (9,000-12,000)
