Hudson Bay Company HBC 6 Six Point Blanket White Light Blue Stripes Queen Excellent

BlanketClassic Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) point blanket, 6 point size with white background and light blue wide stripe.

Queen Size, measures a generous 90″ x 101″, weighs approximately 10 pounds.  The six point blanket will make a “Capote” coat up to Men’s coat size 56.

Excellent condition, appears nearly new.  Made in England.

History of the blanket:

The Hudson’s Bay Company was chartered by King Charles II of
England in 1670. This Royal Charter granted rights to “sole trade and
commerce” in the vast wilderness now known as Canada. Point blankets
were one of the most highly prized trading commodities of the Indians.
The points were known to every Indian as the price to be paid in beaver
belts, i.e. four points = four beaver belts, et cetera.
The French Canadian voyageurs adopted much of the Indian dress
and the point blanket coat, or “capote”. At one time it was possible to
determine the home of a voyageur by the color of his blanket coat. Those
from the Montreal district wore blue coats, those from Quebec
wore red,
and those from Three Rivers wore multi-stripe. Today, points are still
woven into the blankets as an historical reference, and to indicate the
size of the blanket. Woven in England, of selected wools, the Hudson’s
Bay Point Blankets are made to the exacting specifications, as they
were over 300 years ago. They will last a lifetime.

You can find this and many other great items in our eBay store connectibles!

Antique Needle Lace Filet Tablecloth “God Is Love 1904” Peacock Church Dogs 90 inches

TableclothWe’re selling an exceptional collection of antique lace, found carefully stored away for decades. Identified as “Mama’s lace from the Old Country” on the bins, the pieces are outstanding quality and in excellent condition unless noted.  Victorian era, late 1800’s and early 1900’s with a few pieces having the date hand woven into the pattern.

Quite an opportunity to add to your collection.

This listing features the most exceptional of all of them in my opinion. “God Is Love 1904” tablecloth woven into the extremely intricate design pattern.

90″ x 57″ 

Elaborate design includes Peacock or Pheasant perched on tree branch overlooking a church, floral petals around. The border is fantastic — puppy dogs prancing all around the entire tablecloth. 

Card with it says “Made by Great-Aunt Varsenig Begian, Mama’s Sister-in-Law.” 

Tablecloth 2Condition is excellent; has been carefully stored for generations and generations. A few loose stitches if you look intently at pattern, but I’m not overstating when I say this is as good as one could hope for such a piece. A true OOAK piece. 

Please look at photos carefully to see all the lovely details, including the softly curved corners so that the cloth lays flat on the table. 

See our others in our eBay Store collectibles, if you want to add some of the finest quality pieces to your collection.
