Hooked Rug and Tole Painted Coffee Pot Tulip Motif

One of the favorite flowers of the Pennsylvania Dutch are the tulips as they symbolize an everlasting and ongoing cycle in life attributed to faith as these spring flowers continue to grow underground all year long. Beautiful pieces of folk art can be attributed to this flower worked into a variety of mediums by the Pennsylvania Dutch that are sought after by collectors even today. As we look forward to spring I thought this next offering would lend charm and color to your homestead sprinkled with Pennsylvania charm. This hooked rug can also be used as a mat because of the size or can even be leaned vertically against a wall. I am not sure of the age as it may be a contemporary piece. The colors are both vibrant and strong. This carefully hooked rug does have a folk art appearance that is simple in form but yet very effective sporting the bold tulip design. A buttercup yellow center is accented by crimson red with a sneaky, deep cornflower blue highlight inside the petal. Avoca
