About the Item

This charming vintage saddle blanket, dating to the 1950s, offers a rustic yet versatile piece of Americana craftsmanship. Woven with a rich blend of earthy tones and bold geometric patterns, the blanket showcases the durable texture and handcrafted quality typical of mid-20th-century textile art. Its sturdy construction and timeless design make it an ideal wall tapestry, adding warmth and character to a living space or gallery wall. Alternatively, its size and resilience allow it to serve as a unique kitchen or bath mat, bringing a touch of vintage flair to functional decor. Perfect for collectors or interior designers seeking authentic period pieces, this saddle blanket embodies enduring style and versatility. Originating in the United States during the 1950s, vintage saddle blankets were traditionally crafted for equestrian use, providing both comfort and protection. Made by skilled artisans, often using wool or a wool blend, these textiles reflect a blend of utilitarian design and folk art influence. By the mid-20th century, their aesthetic appeal led to their repurposing as decorative items, gaining popularity among collectors and designers for their rugged charm and historical significance. ---Dimensions--- Width: 38 in / 96.52 cm Depth: 19 in / 48.26 cm Height: 0.25 in / 0.64 cm Condition Details: This vintage hand-woven saddle blanket is in 100% original, vintage condition and has aged to perfection!
