RARE EARLY 20TH C AMERICAN FOLK ART ANTIQUE WOOL HOOKED RUG WithCVRD BRIDGE/CHURCH

Posted by admin On June 3, 2021

VERY RARE LATE 19TH to EARLY 20TH CENTURY AME RI CAN F O L K A R T ANTIQUE C O L O R W O O L HO O K E D R U G, w i t h C O V E R E D B R I D G E , C H U R C H , W H I M S I C A L T R E E S , D O G, F I G U R E S & P E R I O D W O V E N M U S L I N C O T T O N S T R I P E D B A C K I N G. Early 20th century Ame ri can antique primitive handmade, hand woven figurative wool hooked rugs. 37 ½” Width x 27″ Height. Offered for your review and consideration is this utterly fantastic, simply amazing and in incredibly well-preserved overall, near originally constituted antique condition, late 19th to early 20th century Ame ri can folk art antique colored wool, handmade hooked rug, featuring a bucolic, near dream-like New England landscape, seemingly bursting with color and complete with a northern New England covered wooden bridge, white clapboard church, stone walls, gnarled old trees, flowers and several figures, as well as a dog. The period rug has no foul smells and doesn’t suffer loss to any of its edges, its black framed borders or even more importantly, in the pictorial field. The area above the wood covered bridge consists of the foliage of trees swirling around like tumultuous wind currents or resembling the rings of receding tidal pools. The maker of the hooked rug seemed particularly focused on enthusiastically portraying the natural bounty, overwhelming beauty and wealth of New England. A veritable Ame ri can antique folk art masterwork. Lush, bright and with gorgeous, brilliant, vivid colors, this wonderful textile art treasure appears to have been rolled up and protected for the more than 100-130 years since it was initially realized. It is nearly, if not, as it was originally constituted. It is a rare feat indeed for a work of textile art to not have the kind of wear we’re accustomed to seeing, when a rug such as this is placed on the floor and walked upon. The presence of dogs, heeled shoes, dirt, sand, wine and food all would have contributed to the hooked rug’s certain depreciation and ultimate demise over time. This was not the case with this incredible work of masterful rug making. It appears never to have been used as a rug or was placed on the floor of a home without pets or children, and away from direct sunlight, since it has virtually no wear or color depreciation at all to speak of. As clean as anyone could ever expect an antique hooked rug to still be. An Ame ri can folk art masterwork in nearly immaculate, pristine condition. It won’t disappoint. Very Good to Excellent overall antique condition. The item “RARE EARLY 20TH C AMERICAN FOLK ART ANTIQUE WOOL HOOKED RUG WithCVRD BRIDGE/CHURCH” is in sale since Sunday, August 2, 2020.

Rare & Large Early 19th Century Stick Back, Hedge Chair Antique Folk Art

Posted by admin On June 1, 2021

A unusually large primitive early 19th century Irish stick back’hedge’ chair, also known as a famine chair. The chair originates from the rural areas where a large part of the population in the 18th and 19th century lived in single-roomed dwellings, demonstrating the widespread rural poverty of the time. Featuring a thick single slab sycamore seat, turned beech front legs and ash arms, sticks and sycamore comb. The chair of wonderful colour and character, is in robust condition for age, with one fascinating period repair of a rear leg having been replaced in chiseled stick form rather than the other three beech turned originals. There are signs of some historic worm activity but the chair is structurally sound. Of particularly unusual, large size. Seat Thickness: 4.3cms.
