Single Vintage Decorative Saltillo Blanket Pillow

About the Item

Beautiful pair of pillows made of finely handwoven multi-color vintage Saltillo Mexican blanket. Originally this price used as wall tapestry and we decided to make pillows from it .the pillows are made with the woven textile back and front, with Frash new inserts ,great happy pair for any room. All they way back to the 1500s, the Aztecs were wearing colorful blankets created out of cotton and agave fibers, and dyed bright colors using the crushed fruits and insects. It was believed at the time that wearing bright colors both brought favours from the gods, and kept evil spirits at bay. The blankets were originally woven in the town of Saltillo, in what is now the state of Coahuila. Saltillo blankets always feature a beautiful diamond shape in the centre of the blanket that is woven like a tapestry--hand picking the warp and weaving in the colors in either silk or cotton. The blankets of similar style which feature greys, browns, and tans came from the higher mountainous regions of Mexico where the colors were dependent on the natural wool fibers.
