19th Century Antique Narrow Loom Welsh Tapestry
Reversible Blanket
This very rare blanket is in good condition, (see
below) and comprises cream, pink and purple colours and an unusual geometric
pattern with wide boarders, attributed to the hugely collectable Hannah Jones
& Sons.
(I also have an identical pattern Hannah Jones
small blanket listed).
Unusually, this blanket has a central seam running
up through its length, as can be seen in the 7th photo, showing that it
was made on a 40” loom. These smaller looms were used in the home, (cottage
industry) and generally stopped being used in the early 1900’s during the
industrial revolution, when blankets were then made in mechanised factories
with larger looms, making them much cheaper and quicker to produce.
Condition - There are numerous small <5mm holes
around the blanket and two larger holes, one 45mm, the other 20mm, and several
areas of slight loss of frill lengths, there is also a couple of small red stains and
a larger stain to the border, see images.
Measurements 86” X 80”.
These are vintage blankets that have been stored,
in some cases, for many years and may have dirty marks and wear commensurate
with age and use.
They have not been washed prior to sale, it is
never a good idea to wash these antique blankets!
