<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 1678722, member: 8267"]Please post some close-ups of the front and back of a corner, the border along the short ends, and of the junctions between pieces. We need to be able to see what the individual threads are doing. Are the seams between sections covered by the decorative stripes, or are the patterned stripes woven as part of the edges of each section, and then decorative stitching used to join and hide the seams? Understanding how a textile is constructed can be very helpful in determining its origin.</p><p>Can you tell what the fiber is? Cotton, wool, or something else?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
