Vintage Black Bear Pelt Rug with Double Scalloped Felt Backing
Sold for: $190
Description
A vintage rectangular animal pelt rug, identified as North American black bear by its dense dark brown to black fur and reddish-brown undertones. The pelt features a prominent central whorl where the fur radiates outward. It is mounted onto a double-layered felt backing, consisting of a dark blue-black primary layer and a green secondary layer, both finished with scalloped edges. The pelt exhibits natural variations in fur density and color typical of taxidermy specimens. No maker marks, labels, or tags are visible on the fur or the underside of the felt backing. The rug measures approximately 37 inches in width across the center and approximately 54 inches in length.
