Description :

A traditional horsehair buggy robe attributed to late‑19th to early‑20th‑century production in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This example features a bold red central panel with repeating floral and starburst motifs framed by a dark border with tan geometric patterning. The reverse is a solid brown textile consistent with utilitarian carriage robes of the period.

The robe shows wear from age and long use, including fraying at edges, surface variation, and areas of thinning visible in the detailed photographs. The woven horsehair front retains strong color and pattern definition, offering both decorative appeal and historical interest.

A representative piece of Midwestern carriage‑era textile craftsmanship, suitable for collectors of equine equipment, regional history, or early American transportation artifacts.
