37" x 67" rectangle - out of an old estate in CT Hand hooked out of Wool Fabric (not yarn) on Burlap
Old Estate in CT
Dear Elizabeth,
Thank you for taking the time to upload images to Mearto of your hand-hooked wool rug. What a great design of two cockatoos surrounded by stylized flowers! Hooked carpets sell based on size, quality, condition, age and imagery. Your example is of a generous size, is circa 1930, appears to require a light cleaning but also appears free from any major damage or bleaching from the sun and additionally has a very comely composition.
Currently at auction, similar hooked rugs featuring animals (rather than landscape or geometric scenes) are selling in the range of $200 - $300USD with the occasional piece superseding that range to the $400 range and even higher when the design strikes a cord with bidders.
