My first thought is that it looks like chenille, possibly part of a larger chenille bedspread.

It's chenille. I have an old one from the forties with peacocks on it. Very bright and, some might say, tacky looking. But I really love it. I've almost used it to death. 8-)

It's a chenilla bedspread. I had one in red & white when I first got married in 1954. LOL I'm vintage!

This has the look of chinelle work. Probably dates circa 1945-50 is my guess.

My Mom had one too - around the 50's. I sure would love to have that spread now. I remember that she always had it on her bed. Seems like I remember alot of lint coming off it:: LOL

It does look like a chenille bedspread we had that when I was a kid. They sell them at The Vermont Store online and they are not cheap. Take a look at the site and it'll give you an idea for size. Sue

I forgot they also always had a lot of lint I was glad when they came out with other bedspreads and I could afford to buy it. Sue
