Antique Round Braided Silk Tabletop Mat - Two of Two weathervane sulky driver but very pretty still

but very pretty still

And the rendering of the figures on this one

a cavalry regiment of the British Army

I just love the colorful patterning of the skirt

It is small--about 4 1/2 inches head to toe

Antique Round Braided Silk Tabletop Mat - Two of Two weathervane sulky driver but very pretty stillI've become such a fan of these old braided mats, and look at a lot of them before landing on ones I really like. This and one other I am listing I found together and assume were made by the same person, who I think had a very good eye for color and pattern. Good on the table under the coffee pot or tea pot or dishes or candlesticks or whatever. 13 1 2" in diameter and in good antique condition on both side, definitely used and a bit faded, but lovely.
