THIS IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL CHIEF'S BLANKET. IT IS A TRANSITION BLANKET HALF WAY BETWEEN SECOND PHASE &A THIRD PHASE DESIGN. IT HAS SOME DAMAGE A COUPLE OF HOLES & SLIGHT BLEEDING. SEE CLOSEUPS. IT IS CIRCA 1880/1890. I WOULD HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED TO LIKE NEW. IT WOULD HAVE COST ME $700 TO $800 WHICH WOULD HAVE MORE THAN DOUBLED THE VALUE. UNFORTUNATELY, MY RESTORER PASSED AWAY AND I HAVE NOT FOUND A REPLACEMENT. SO SEL...LING AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE FOR AN EARLY TRANSITION PIECE. IT WOULD BE EASY TO REPAIR BECAUSE ALL THE DAMAGE IS IN THE RED WOOL AND WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE TO WEAVE IN ONE COLOR AND NO DESIGN IT IS PRETTY SIMPLE TO REPAIR. SIZE IS 58" X 78". THE RED SHOWN IN PHOTOS IS ACTUALLY MORE OF A DEEP RED. PICTURES CAME UP A LITTLE LIGHT. BOTH SIDES SHOWN.
