Description
This is a Bear fur skin carriage blanket from the late 1800's. RARE FIND - most of these blankets are horse hair, cow hide, and sometimes buffalo. Bear fur carriage blankets are difficult to find. These blankets are also referred to as Sleigh Blankets, Buggy Blankets, Lap Blankets, Lap Robe. Measures 58" x 66" and is backed with a thick wool fabric. Oddly there are two covered buttons on the back, it is unclear what these were used for Only remnants of the felt like reddish colored fringe is left. There is a wear/torn hole in the wool on one end. There is a place where four sections of bear pelts come together which has come apart . Both of these issues are not apparent when the blanket is displayed flat and both look to be fixable issues. AMAZING RARE ANTIQUE FIND. See photos for condition.
