Very Fine Antique Algerian Silk and Wool Shawl with Stripes

About the Item

A strikingly visual shawl composed of alternating rows of horizontal stripes in undyed dark wool and insect dyed fuchsia red silk. The differing widths of each stripe imparts this textile with a very contemporary look. Shawls of this type are extremely rare and were possibly woven as part of the dowry. Very little is known about the culture who wove them.

Vintage Moroccan Blue Kilim Rug with Geometric Border and Two Diamond Lozenges
Located in Morristown, NJ
Antique early 20th century Moroccan Kilim rug, with two central diamond medallions, made in simple flat-woven or tapestry technique, in which the pattern is produced by horizontal wefts that cover the vertical warps. The ground is a denim blue color with browns, greens, beiges, pinks and blues woven into the border decoration and diamond medallions. The desire for the ‘exotic’ rug family in Western culture played no small part in the entrance of Moroccan style to the world stage and the gradual western influence on the style we see today. Given their thinner, supple structure, Kilim rugs are usable not only as decorative floor covering, but also as wall hangings and on furniture or bed coverlets...
