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.
