Wool "Cat Family" Hooked Rug
 Mouse-Over to MagnifyClick to Enlarge  Wool "Cat Family" hooked rug - Sold American, Circa 1910 Wool 24.5 x 41 inches professionally mounted Centering four black-and-white cats against a gray ground, within a red scrolled border and brown outer border. The identical coloring of these cats signifies they are a family; their piercing expression captures the attention of the viewer and contributes significantly to the charm of this hooked rug. Another maker evidently found this subject inspirational when one considers a similar "Cat Family" rug illustrated in Wendy Lavitt, Animals in American Folk Art (New York, 1990), p. 52.       |
