Vintage Moroccan Wedding Blanket Meryem

Beautiful Vintage Moroccan Wedding Throw

An exceptional vintage Moroccan wedding throw or blanket.  The creamy white wool is interspersed with rows of sequins fastened with orange, lilac and white cotton and bands of kilim patterns covered in cotton fringing. Scroll over the photos to see this vintage wedding blanket in more detail.

In the same way that women prepared a wedding trousseau in Europe in the past,  it was and still is in some areas the tradition in Morocco for female relatives of the bride to weave her a wedding blanket, which she wears like a cape on the day of her wedding.  This unique piece is in very good condition for its age and still has the original neckties.

This Moroccan wedding throw will add texture, a dash of subtle colour and sparkle to the foot of a bed or over the back of a sofa or chair.

Please note that this is a vintage wedding blanket and there may be the odd imperfection in keeping with its age but we think this adds to its charm.
