    Hi, this is my first post. I came across this blanket today and immediately knew that it was something unique. Can anyone help me with what the origins of this blanket are? I can tell it is a well-made blanket but I've never seen anything like it before. A bit of research leads me to think Texacoco or Chimayo. How can I determine how old it is and is it worth anything? It's appx 48" x 72". I'd love any information or insight that anyone can offer. Thank you so much!

    My vote is for Texcoco. The gray is not a typical color, but the small S figures may be the deciding characteristic. Possibly early to mid 20th century, although the colors are awfully bright and fresh.
    Taupou will be able to say more.

    An odd thing just happened. I was sure I had answered this late last night, but this morning, nothing showed up here. I finally checked on my name at the top of the page, and then on "Recent Activity." It said I had recently posted on Albums. How that happened, I have no idea. I never even look on Albums, and am not even sure of the purpose, I usually just read the New Posts.

    Anyway, here's what I evidently somehow posted on "Albums," for what it's worth, and for the rest of the Antiquers who also never look at "Albums" :

    "It's from the Texcoco region of Mexico. I'd say mid-20th century. I'd check Sold Listings on eBay to see if any similar pieces have sold recently, or what they are going for.

    I do know the market for certain rugs has felt a decline in the last few years. I don't deal specifically in Mexican rugs, so I can't say if it's the same."
