This early double weave in the rare chequerboard design was made on a nineteenth century narrow loom . Created in two halves and then joined up the middle .
Burgundy with cream , a little black and yellow - the colours reverse on opposite sides .
Long fringe at two ends and short fringe along the other.
Very good order for its age with just a few well executed darns that are very difficult to find in this busy pattern.
One for a collection that is still very usable
