Told by antique dealer the carpet
was Turkish made between the
1940's to the 1950's, due to the
method that it was handwoven
and dyed wool colors.
He said each wool striped row
was individually hand dyed with
natural pigments, creating the
natural shade variations
between the stripe colors.
Enough wool was hand dyed to
create just one row. The colored
strips were then woven together
creating this gorgeous hand made
striped wool carpet as well as the
wool fringe.
Due to the warm wool the carpet
had many uses. It may have doubled
as a wool blanket or even hung over
a door or window to keep the cold out.
