Back
Naturally dyed Tibetan checkered khaden with small (approximately +/- 2cm x 2cm) blue and white squares; the blue of which is abrashed throughout. Hand-spun wool warp and weft, made circa 1900 and size is 153cm x 81cm (approximately 60.25in x 32in). Some slight pile wear and could use a professional wash, after which it would really sparkle! In good to very good condition, especially for its age. Has been in the one collectors hands since being purchased in Kathmandu, Nepal, circa 1970. (As some of you may have guessed from our recent postings, we have just acquired a very large collection of 'east Asian' carpets and textiles, etc, and also some South American textiles, that have been in the one collectors hands for over fifty years, and we will be uploading them to their respective pages on our website - https://warpandweft.club/ - as soon as we get them photographed (no small task!!!). Please do drop by occasionally for a visit. Who knows what you might just find!!)
