ALOT OF OLD BLANKETS WERE MADE ON SMALL LOOMS AND THE PANELS HAD TO BE STITCHED TOGETHER TO MAKE BIGGER BLANKETS, THEY ARE OFTEN MISMATCHED BUT HAVE TONS OF CHARM. THEY CAN STILL BE CHEAP AND ADD SOME DASH TO A MODERN CHAIR OR SOFA

Some details from a recent SDGs visit to Merchants House in New York.
The Merchant’s House Museum is New York City’s only family home preserved intact — inside and out — from the 19th century. Built in 1832 just steps from Washington Square, this elegant red-brick and white-marble row house on East Fourth Street was home to a prosperous merchant family for almost 100 years.Complete with the family’s original furnishings and personal possessions, the house offers a rare and intimate glimpse of domestic life in New York City from 1835-1865.
