Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-woven. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Size and placement

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Flatweave

How it reads

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
