<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9771173, member: 8267&quot;]Although you did not provide dimensions, from the size of the chair it looks like the width of each half would be about 30&quot;. That would be a typical width for a floor loom used in Mexico and New Mexico in the Spanish tradition. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have found some photos of the center seams produced on &quot;Rio Grande&quot; textiles, both using double weave and sewing, that look similar to your textile. Yours may in fact be sewn, based on how the photographed textiles are described, but I would want to carefully examine it and tease the threads apart to see if there is a shared warp at the junction, or a separate sewing thread. But that is just me. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]481790[/ATTACH] </p><p><a href="https://blogs.adams.edu/salazar-center/rio-grande-textile-weaving-details/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://blogs.adams.edu/salazar-center/rio-grande-textile-weaving-details/" rel="nofollow">https://blogs.adams.edu/salazar-center/rio-grande-textile-weaving-details/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]481791[/ATTACH] </p><p><a href="https://ewespecial.blogspot.com/2012/10/blanketscontinued.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://ewespecial.blogspot.com/2012/10/blanketscontinued.html" rel="nofollow">https://ewespecial.blogspot.com/2012/10/blanketscontinued.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is some more information on the Rio Grande weaving tradition -</p><p><a href="https://www.chimayoweavers.com/pages/history-of-rio-grande-weaving" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.chimayoweavers.com/pages/history-of-rio-grande-weaving" rel="nofollow">https://www.chimayoweavers.com/pages/history-of-rio-grande-weaving</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The design on your piece is simpler than many historic Rio Grande textiles, relying on the natural colors of wool rather than any dyed yarns. And I have not been able to find a comparable design attributed to this tradition. But it may be a vintage, or even more contemporary piece using the same methods, from the same region.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
