This heavy wool blanket is a true showpiece and an authentic piece of Moroccan history. We have christened this piece Maymoona, meaning “blessed” in Arabic. Warm white wool is punctuated by brilliantly colored threads, adding character and depth to this stunning piece. More than 2500 sequins dance in the light amidst mounds of bushy fringe. Measuring 48” x 73”, this blanket is a bit of a rarity, since it still boasts colorful neck ties in excellent condition. The edges are finished in 4” of playful fringe. There a four patches of dense sequins which provide a soft melody when the blanket is moved. We were stunned by the sheer weight of this piece, it’s easily the heaviest blanket we’ve ever encountered! This is a very special vintage, one-of-a-kind original.
