Back
Finely hand-woven four paneled raw silk Bhutanese blanket (i.e. four individually woven strips or panels sewn together post weaving) made with all natural dyes, almost certainly in Bhutan, or at a very remote possibility, Tibet. There is a small tear along one of the panel joins at bottom, and some unraveling nearby, as shown in one close-up photo above, otherwise it is in excellent condition. From the early 1990's, the size is 195cm (inc. fringe) x 137cm (approximately 72.8in x 54in). First time on the market since collected from a Bhutanese national (whose parents had owned it for longer than he could remember) in Kathmandu circa 1970, having been in the one collectors hands since then. a rare find today, especially seeing as it is with good age and overall condition.
