VTG Red SILK & WOOL Saltillo SERAPE Runner Throw Blanket SOUTHWESTERN Mexico:
$150.00

CIRCA 1930\'S/40\'S. LARGE MEXICAN WOOL AND NATURAL SILK SERAPE RUNNER. RED IS THE MAIN COLOR BAND. APPROX. 35.5\" WIDE X 80\" LONG + 7\" FRINGE. CENTER DIAMOND EYE 10.5\" WIDE X 24.5\" LONG.

THIS TEXTILE LOOKS TO HAVE ONLY BEEN HUNG ON A WALL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SHOW MUCH WEAR OTHER THANMINOR MOTH ACTIVITY HERE/THERE, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE PERIMETER,AND SOMESMALLER DARK MARKS/STAINS AROUND THE PERIMETER (MOSTLY IN 4 CORNERS)- PROBABLY SOME TYPE OF GLUE THAT TURNED DARK WITH AGE (SEE PICS FOR EXAMPLES OF BOTH). FRINGE IN GREAT SHAPE ALTHOUGH IT WAS SWISTED UP (PROBABLY DUE TO WIND) AND HAD TO BE MANUALLY UNTANGLED. A FEW STRANDS HERE/THERE BROKE OFF BUT OTHERWISE IN GREAT SHAPE FOR AGE (SEE PICS). THERE IS SOME FADING ON ONE SIDE/ONE SECTION, MORE THAN THE OTHER ANDISSOME AREAS AROUND EDGES- PROBABLY DUE TO LIGHT/SUN EXPOSURE WHILE MOUNTED ON WALL(SEE PICS). THERE IS A BREAK IN WEAVING APPROX. 1/4\"X 1/2\" (SEE PIC WITH NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS). SOME OF MOTH ACTIVITY GOES THROUGH TO OTHER SIDE WHILE SOME CAN ONLY BE SEEN ON ONE SIDE. A FEW ARE 1/4\" IN LENGTH (SOME BUT NOT ALL OF MOTH ACTIVITY PICTURED). ONE IS JUST ON THE SURFACE AND CLOSER TO 1/2.\" BUT DIFFICULT TO DETECT. TWO SMALL SPECS OF WHITE PAINT AS WELL (SEE PIC). NO STRANGE ODORS OR COLOR BLEEDS.

NICE TIGHT WEAVE ON THIS CLASSIC OLDIE. A NICE COLLECTOR PIECE FOR THE PRICE!

PRIORITY MAIL.
