Place of origin

Woven fragment that was probably part of a blanket or a throw. Unfortunately, we can't pinpoint the location of this textile fragment.

Patterns

The repeating elements in the center field of this Textile Fragment rug have no specific center (so-called repeating pattern). The repeating pattern has a calming but not boring effect. Rugs with repeating patterns are also called patterned.

The luxuriant flower motifs of this Textile Fragment are elegant and varied. The graceful vegetative symbols representing flowers, leaves and branches are artfully intertwined.

The background of this Textile Fragment is beige. The colors purplec and beige dominate the overall impression.

Condition

You are not the first to enjoy this Textile Fragment. It has had owners before you, who have cherished and used it. It was hand woven about 1880 and has served devotedly ever since. All in all, it is still in good condition and can still bring satisfaction for decades. We have not restored this Textile Fragment, because we think it is as it is a special charm. If that is what you would like, we will be happy to restore the rug for you, of course.

Material

The pile of this Textile Fragment has been hand-knotted from high-quality virgin wool. Virgin wool is obtained through the gentle shearing of sheep. Virgin wool is a sustainable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties; due to the wool's natural fat content, the surface repels water droplets and is thus naturally impervious to dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on living climate and muffles sound.
