Welsh Tapestry blankets hit the store

I love it when i discover gorgeous preloved finds, these 2 blankets where together when i spotted them, so clearly a collector had once owned them both. Welsh blankets were traditionally given as wedding gifts to be handed down generation to generation. They were originally woven by hand and are technically known a Tapestry Blankets. They are woven using a double cloth construction which hasn’t changed since the mid 1880’s, giving a practical, hard wearing cloth which allows a reversible pattern. They are timeless and will fit in any contemporary or traditional home, ready to be passed down to continue this lovely tradition. Both available in Textiles in store.
