ca 1910 61" x 41" ; Recently Professionally Cleaned, this early rug displays the eight pointed Vallero Star, an influence from the Rio Grande Weaving culture, likely brought over from Spain in the 18th century. With an unusual narrow connected diamond band in center. Show general wear of age with some thinning, edge wear, general fading and small breaks as pictured. Interestingly, the warps are not broken, but rather knotted on both ends providing a warp fringe which is a very rare technique which is also showing Rio Grande blanket influence. In overall fair to good condition; historically, a remarkable and very interesting piece.
