Cantel vintage mantel (table cloth).

From the Dr. Richard P. Mandell collection.

This circa-1950 mantel was hand woven on a back strap loom in two weft striped cotton panels. These panels feature extensive ikat dye patterns in indigo, other natural dyes and hand-spun natural brown cotton. Cantel items are rare in general and one of this size and quality is especially so. This unique example is in very good condition. W 98 x L 195 cm. (16-241) $ 450. OBO
