Green and red engine and two cars, pushing a yellow caboose. Very cute and lively. Frame for a child's room?
This is one of a group of wonderful vintage/antique hooked rugs I purchased at a New England store Estate auction. I'm selling them individually. They were crafted with yarn as opposed to wool strips. They measure 8” x 22” as for stair treads. Someone may actually want to use them as stair treads. I've seen pictures of them put on stair risers rather than the flats. My thought was to frame them for wall art, or put them on couch pillows before selling them, but then I thought there are many buyers who would have more talent at such handiwork than me. Especially buyers searching on Etsy. So, though I'm really reluctant to let them go, here they are! The subject matter, colors, and handwork are marvelous. The box they were in said that Grandma had made them. The edges may be frayed, a few spots need repair, and they need new backing. I did dare to clean them in fresh fallen snow, (which I'd like to sell you too or even send along for free). But again, someone who knows more may want to clean them more
