| Tumbling Blocks Hooked Rug: Ca. 1920; Pennsylvania $1275. | |
This wonderfully three dimensional Tumbling Blocks Hooked Rug has appeal on several counts. It is very much like the Tumbling Blocks Quilt pattern. At the same time, it has the effect of 20th century Cubist design. It has impact as a wall piece but is also strong enough to be taken off the stretcher and used on the floor as was originally intended. Made of wools; circa 1920. Pennsylvania origin. Stretcher measures 27 1/2" x 53".

 | Circles Hooked Rug: Circa 1920 $1450. |
This is an original pattern hooked rug of irregular circles. Each is also irregularly outlined yet the whole is very cohesive and balanced. I think of it as a hooked painting. Made of cotton; circa 1920. Professionally cleaned and restored. Measures 38" x 60".

| Geometric Hooked Rug: Circa 1920; New England $875. |  |
Interesting geometric hooked rug that forms a variety of patterns. While the primary pattern is that of squares set on point, the triangles forming the corners of each of these blocks join to create diagonal strings of rhomboids. In addition, the primary blocks can be viewed as the front face of tumbling blocks. This rug appears to be in un-used, pristine condition. Made of wools; circa 1920. New England origin; measures 38" x 65".
