About the Item
LARGE HOOKED RUG WITH A SEATED CAT AS THE HOME SQUARE OF A DESIGN STYLED AFTER A PARCHEESI GAME BOARD, WITH STAR-LIKE, 6-PETAL FLOWERS IN EACH CORNER; WOOL & COTTON ON BURLAP, PROBABLY PENNSYLVANIA, MENNONITE, circa 1880-1910
Early, hooked, American rug, executed on burlap and of a generous scale, found in Pennsylvania. Made circa 1880-1910, the scrap fabrics, industriously employed, include salmon, red, black, navy, and grey woolen fabrics, brown & pink, knit wool suiting, and black, jersey stocking fabric with a deep grain, probably made of merino wool, laid over a structure of white cotton or linen thread. Also included are several cottons, including pink and brown or black polka-dot, pink and blue plaids, and a blue chambray (denim-like fabric). Probably of Mennonite origin, the graphics of the rug are very unusual, patterned after a parcheesi game board, with a beige, seated cat on the home square and star-like flowers in each corner, with six elongated petals. Both the cat and color of the background are suggestive of warmth, with the red probably selected to represent ‘fire-in-the-hearth,’ a feature typical of Pennsylvania, Mennonite, log cabin quilts, the stacked, lineal designs of which bear keen similarity.
Mounting: The rug was professionally stitch-mounted on 100% cotton twill, black in color, that has been washed and treated for colorfastness. A custom, wooden framework was created for support, and the background fabric was wrapped around it, so that there is an overall depth of approximately 1.5” - 1.75” with the rug. This is deeper than usual and results in a more pronounced presentation.
Condition: The overall condition is excellent and the rug presents beautifully. Fraying, wear, and fading of the fabrics were likely present when the rug was constructed.

48 Star Crocheted Homemade American Flag, WWII Era, 1941-1945
Located in York County, PA
48 star, crocheted, antique american flag of the wwii era (1941-1945), a beautiful, homemade example, with a red, white, & blue hoist and flower-like stars:
Crocheted American flag of the WWII era (U.S. involvement 1941-1945), with some interesting and beautiful features. Made entirely of cotton, the flag’s most notable attribute is the red, white, and blue color of its hoist. This was carefully stitched to the canton and the striped field with white cotton floss or yarn. The 48 crocheted stars are appliquéd to a length of navy blue plain weave cotton. With pierced centers, note how these more closely resemble flowers than stars, tipped this way and that on their vertical axis. Large, with respect to the canton on which they are placed, note how these crowd their boundaries and overlap into the field.
The elongated format of the flag is also of interest and contributes to the bold presentation, as do the strong colors. Most crocheted flags are smaller than this one, or date to a much later period (namely the 1976...
