Featured Age and Origin of this Textile?

Any thoughts on the possible age and origin of this textile?

Size approx: 49 inches.

Thank you!

 

It's a Jacquard loom weave, & the Balalaikas make me think Russian or Baltic states.

I can't tell the age.....but it's a wonderful woven item !

 

I think they are also referred to as piano shawls or piano scarf. Here's a few similar.

Southern Russia would be my guess.

 

Another nice item, 'Nuff Said!

 

Once again, this board and you folks are awesome!

Thank you all so much for your time, replies and thoughts on this item. Thank you!

Any hint to the possible age?

 

Take this with a grain of salt, lol, but my WAG would be 1920's. Only based upon this.....I had a very similar weaving a while back that 6rivets helped me with, only it was from a different region, and she thought 1920's for mine. Although it was from a different region, the making process was nearly identical.
Where is 6rivets??

 

Thank you!

I tried to do a quick search under Russian piano shawl, but couldn't find a similar designed piece with figures. I'll dig a bit deeper later today when I get (or hopefully get) sone time.

Yeah, where is Rivets? Haven't seen her post in a long time.

 

Nuff, I'm going send you the name of an expert that might be able to help, in a private message in a few minutes.
