Tom Conde Sash

This sash is from one at the Rochester Museum & Science Center in Roch., NY It is believed to date from before 1750. Woven from small black yarn with the beads on heavy thread rather than strands of yarn. A very interesting piece because the zigzag at the edges goes to the outside strand. This is rarely if ever seen on other pieces. Sash body is 3" wide like the original and 36" long. It has 30" fringes.
