1930's Antique Dollhouse Miniature Hand Hooked Rug Ship Coastal House 1:12 scale

Description: SALE- From $164.99 Note- The flash takes away the aged look you see in person, where it looks so much older & better & the red is actually a gorgeous burgundy. The first photo is the closest to accurate. DESCRIPTION- Antique hooked rug from the 1920s to the 1930s in perfect 1:12th scale for a small rug or 1:24th scale for a large rug. Someone has put Modge Podge or spray sealer over the back more recently. You can tell part of the age because of the fading of the front compared to the back which, despite the sealer, shows more of the brighter original colors that the front used to have just like most full-sized antique hooked rugs. The ship is more visible on the back. Antique hooked rugs in good scale are quite rare. Most of them are large and bulky. This one is thin and very well done. The triple rope border along with the coastal scene of a ship, lighthouse, and a house by the sea give this a truly nautical feel and make me think it might have been sold somewhere like Nantucket where they sold the baskets in the early 20th century & could even be sailor-made rope work. You can see the measurements in the last two photos. I have never seen another to-scale miniature rug like it. Condition- Excellent antique condition, with the front faded somewhat so the ship is more difficult to see, the water isn't blue anymore, & the back shows more of the original colors just like in any antique full sized hooked rug. ABOUT US- Perhaps you found us from our cards at shows or our Facebook page htgtminis & if so, we hope you will choose to buy from us here also. We are Chris & Holly Wood of Scottsville, KY & we have sold dollhouse miniatures at shows in Philadelphia (Minituria), & San Jose (Good Sam), & in Chicago (Bishop etc..). We will be at Philly & Chicago in their next shows (Nov & April). Our previous 22 years experience with antiques gives us a discerning eye to proper scale in miniatures. We hope you will choose to do business with us wherever you may FIND US. Write with ANY questions or reasonable offers & we will consider them. RETURNS & BUYER PROTECTION- These terms are legally binding. The eBay buyer protection program fully guarantees you will receive the item(s) you bought just as shown & described in this listing. We do not allow returns outside of the eBay buyer protection guarantee for any reason, because all that does is allow for buyers to return things for illegitimate reasons such as buyer's remorse or not reading the description, reasons that if we were somehow forced to do a return because of, would result in a 25% restocking fee. If we made a legitimate mistake that can be proven, then the eBay money back guarantee comes in. If there's damage, that's why we always fully insure any item (other than lesser items we have exact duplicates of). Most buyers are honest & not intending to cheat sellers, but this way you are protected and so are we. We often set up in Philly & Chicago & have sold a huge amount of estate miniatures in the past 7 years. We want to be a trusted source for artisan dollhouse items on eBay & we have never received anything but positive feedback from dollhouse items we've sold, with no complaints so far anywhere. However, one buyer neglected to note the size, thought they were buying a full size cupboard despite the DH category, description with size, & pictures with a dime beside them & one of my hand holding it, so just know what you're buying & know there will be no returns for not looking at pictures & reading the description. And if there is anything you're not sure about, write to ask BEFORE buying & we will send any additional pics or photos or measurements you need so there is no confusion. After you buy without writing, that is on you. We want to make every reasonable buyer happy so they come back again! Thanks for looking.
