Queen Size Blanket Appraisal

Hudson Bay Style Striped Wool Blanket

This item is identified as a wool blanket styled in the iconic Hudson Bay Company multi-stripe pattern. The primary color of the blanket appears to be a natural, undyed wool white or cream, forming the bulk of its body. It features bold, horizontal stripe patterns at the ends, consistent with the classic Hudson Bay point blanket design. The main colors visible in these stripes are red, gold/orange, and green, along with black or very dark blue banding. One of the images shows two folded blankets, suggesting they might be a pair or simply displaying different sections of a single larger blanket. The wool material appears thick and soft, indicative of good warmth and durability. Visible condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant wear, tears, stains, or repairs from the provided images. The edges of the blanket are finished, likely with a simple hem or binding in a dark color that complements the stripes. There are no visible manufacturer's marks, tags, or signatures in the images, preventing identification of a specific maker, but the 'Hudson Bay Style' designation implies either a genuine Hudson's Bay Company blanket or a high-quality reproduction. The craftsmanship appears to be robust and functional, consistent with a textile designed for practical use and longevity. The absence of heavy pilling or fading suggests either good care or a relatively recent production, though true Hudson Bay blankets can age gracefully.
