CUSTOM PET PORTRAITS

Since the beginning of American rug hooking in the 1850's, thrifty housewives, farmers, and sailors used their castoff woolen clothes to create rag rugs featuring images of their beloved pets. These homey images have continued to be the most valuable genre of antique hooked rugs for savvy collectors.

Please call for information and to discuss the size, format, price, and style of your custom pet portrait rug or kit: 207-625-3325. You will also want to share many good, close up and full body digital photos of your pet by email: fcjc@roadrunner.com
