Large Antique Welsh Wool Blanket

1900 - 1920
Description

A large Welsh wool blanket dating from the early to mid 20th Century. It is a traditional plaid design in beautiful pinks and creams. It is a particularly early example because it has been made in two halves when looms were smaller and then sewn together to make one large blanket.

It is in excellent condition for its age. There are some minor signs of use but no major damages or stains.

Approximate Measurements :

86" (219cm) x 70" (178cm)

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Welsh wool blankets, historically produced in local woollen mills across Wales, are thick woven textiles traditionally featuring geometric tapestry or plaid patterns. They were crafted using durable sheep wool for warmth and functional home use.

These textiles are woven from pure wool yarns using traditional double-cloth or single-weave loom techniques. The construction produces a heavy-weight fabric with distinct structural grid or check patterns.

Authentic pieces generally showcase distinct regional weave patterns such as checking, plaid, or honeycomb tapestry structures. They feature whipstitched or bound edges and possess a substantial, heavy weight characteristic of traditional mill production.

Draped over the foot of a bed or layered across a neutral sofa, these woven blankets introduce texture and historical pattern to a space. They complement rustic, country, and eclectic interior schemes.

Wool blankets should be gently hand-washed in cool water using a specialist wool detergent or professionally dry cleaned. Store them clean in breathable cotton bags alongside cedar blocks to prevent insect damage.
