Welsh Wool Tapestry Blanket Gilmores Village Weave 1960s
£100.00
On offer is a large and heavy 1960s Welsh wool tapestry blanket, produced in the traditional village weave style and retailed by Gilmores. The blanket carries the original Gilmores label and dates to the 1960s, with the retailer associated with Wrexham and Dorset. It is woven in a strong geometric tapestry pattern using earthy tones, typical of mid 20th century Welsh wool textiles.
Welsh tapestry blankets are renowned for their durability, warmth, and distinctive double sided weave, developed to suit the climate and rural life of Wales. Village weave examples such as this were often made for long term household use and are now increasingly scarce, particularly in larger sizes.
The blanket has been professionally cleaned. It remains reversible and visually striking, though there are a number of holes present, as shown in the images. These are honest signs of age and use. The blanket can be used as it is or repaired, and represents a rare survival that deserves to be preserved and passed on.
