This vintage Mexican Saltillo Serape, woven circa the late 19th to early 20th century, is a striking example of northern Mexican textile artistry from the Coahuila region. Crafted using traditional flat-woven kilim techniques, this historic piece features the signature “royal blue” background, accented with vibrant red, black, ivory, and tan design elements.

At the heart of the serape lies a large lozenge-shaped central medallion, intricately woven and flanked by four smaller medallions, each contributing to the balanced and rhythmic Saltillo design. This textile remains in original condition, showing signs of age-related wear that speak to its authenticity and storied past—while still preserving its vivid colors and intricate patterns.

A display sleeve has been sewn onto the back, allowing for easy installation as wall art or tapestry. Whether displayed in a Southwestern, boho, or historic interior, this antique serape offers a rare opportunity to own a museum-worthy textile with deep cultural roots and timeless aesthetic appeal.
