Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises an assortment of vintage blankets and decorative textiles, primarily of wool and mohair-style construction. The collection includes several thick-pile, long-fringed throw blankets in various colourways, featuring a red and grey plaid example, a solid blue and grey marl, and a cream blanket with blue striped borders. The red and grey plaid blanket is fitted with a woven manufacturer’s label featuring a red circular logo containing a white leaping animal, possibly a goat or lamb, with the word WOVEN transcribed at the bottom. Also present is a folded wool blanket decorated with a traditional multi-coloured tartan pattern in shades of blue, green, and red. Decorative fabrics within the group include a length of blue material with an ornate paisley-style printed border and red floral motifs, and a green fabric length featuring horizontal metallic gold-tone stripes. The lot is completed by a yellow popcorn-knit baby blanket finished with a wide satin-effect ribbon binding.


Condition report:

The items appear to be in good vintage condition overall, showing general signs of age and domestic use. The long fringing on the mohair-style blankets exhibits typical matting and tangling. No major stains, significant tears, or heavy moth damage are immediately apparent from visual inspection.
