Rare Vintage King Size Welsh Tapestry Blanket – Derw Mill

Add a striking piece of mid-century textile heritage to your home with this stunning, authentic vintage Welsh tapestry blanket. Woven by the historic Derw Mill in Pentrecwrt, Carmarthenshire, West Wales, this piece dates back to the mid-20th century. Derw Mill ceased production in 1983, making this blanket a highly collectible and finite piece of British textile history. This blanket is exceptionally large, measuring a generous 8ft x 8ft (approx. 244cm x 244cm)—perfect as a statement bedspread for a Double, Queen, or King bed, or as a heavy structural throw for a large sofa. It features a heavy, double-cloth weave with a substantial weight of approximately 6.14 lbs, giving it a luxurious, cozy drape. The blanket is fully reversible, featuring two beautifully inverted sides. It showcases a traditional geometric layout—reminiscent of the classic Caernarfonshire portcullis design—in a timeless, vibrant Mid-Century Modern colorway of cobalt blue, emerald green, teal, black, and cream. Details: • Brand/Maker: Derw Mill (Provenanced via original tag photos) • Material: 100% Pure New Wool • Dimensions: 8 x 8 feet (approx. 244 x 244 cm) • Weight: Approx. 6.14 lbs (2.78 kg) • Design: Reversible geometric / Caernarfonshire portcullis double-cloth pattern • Color palette: Cobalt Blue, Emerald Green, Teal, Black, Cream Condition: Excellent structural vintage condition. The weave is tight and intact, and the colors remain incredibly vibrant. ***Please note: The original cloth manufacturer's tag recently detached from the blanket and has been lost. However, I have included a photo of the original label taken while it was still attached to verify its exact authenticity and provenance as a genuine Derw Mill piece. Comes from a clean, smoke-free home.
