Steve, Could you or someone else describe some of the dating criteria. To me the designs from one century to the next are too similar which would be expected from two isolated villages whose weaving wasn't "discovered" until the second half of the 20th century. Your link to The Textile Gallery and its exhibition and dates, while intetresting, is not good evidence for dating; I've always been skeptical of The Textile Gallery and its descriptions: Michael Francis is a superb marketer.
