Vintage Large Wool Hooked Rug Fruit Motifs, 60" x 59-1/2" Dated 1987
This is a vintage dated 1987 hand hooked rug from Western New York, southern tier area town called Fillmore.
Hooked by Mary Ricketts, a well known town resident. Owning the Ford tractor farm machinery dealership in Fillmore.
The design is avery intricate scroll done on a burgandy background. The hand hooking is very well done & even. It washooked on burlap. Thehooking is done in a se...veral ply wool yarn that was made for hooking rugs. I donot know if this was an original design or like many women that hooked, they started with a purchased pattern & changed what they wanted to changeas they hooked.
The rug is a large 60" x 59-1/2". It is in excellentcondition with no wear on the edges on the back. The burlap is in excellentcondition. No fading, no damage and no repairs. It looks like it was hooked then rolled & placed in a closet. Itwould be beautiful hung on a wall or because of the great condition could beused on the floor...as it was meant to be used. Skillfully done hooking consisting of meandering fruit, flowers, twigs and leaves.The piece is very well preserved and worthy of collecting and displaying.
A wonderful worthy example to add to a collection or start one, a real beauty!! CONDITION
Hooking is tight and intact thruout. There is no apparent damage to the threads or the body of the rug aside from very slight anomalies, very few and very minor "loosening" consistent with age and rare use and decades of storage.
A wonderful worthy example to add to a collection or start one, a real beauty!!
