This one is about 3 ft by 6 ft and i like it alot. a little bit of wear throughout but that doesn't bother me at all. no label or markings on the back of this one either. i bought both at the flea market the other day for $80. what a steal!
I think I like the pattern on this one even more than your other -- GREAT SCORE to get the both of 'em!! <applause>
thanks AnythingObscure. we're in agreement on these.
Pretty pattern! How old would you say it is?
thanks Mrstyndall. I'd say it's pre-1920s. the other one is more like 1930s.
Holy cow, this is a real score for sure. These textiles run very valuable Ho2, especially when there is red in them. Upwards into the thousands, 10's of thousands and maybe more, if I'm correct! I will try to think of the name and get back to you on that, but I could say I'm almost positive... I'm having a CRS day, if you know what I mean. ;) could be much older than 30's, Possible late 1800's. I would say definitely a prayer rug!
Oh and be very careful if you clean it. The red is what makes this most special and you could easily ruin it by cleaning as the red could bleed out. Be sure to research it if I'm not able to get back to you with more info.
