Authentic Vintage Saltillo Blanket, Red

A large size Mexican Saltillo runner from circa 1940's-1950's. This is not made of acrylic. This blanket features a beautiful diamond tapestry of wool and cotton in the center. The other colors are woven in a beautiful ombre from bright to light color. The side edges are a straight. The warp fringe is in very good condition. The fringe tells us that the warp is made of strong cotton thread. The colors are bright. There are several small holes, as there sometimes are, in these old wool pieces. None of the holes are large and they are only visible when the piece is held up to the light. It's in almost perfect condition. These minor blemishes do not detract from the look of the blanket but see close-up photos. It's made of wool and cotton. It displays the telltale red, white and green tiny stripes between blocks of color in reference to the colors of Mexico. 

One of a kind. Rare to find in such excellent condition with fringe intact.
