My two cents: I'm thinking these pieces are probably machine-made. They're really very big (for the non-metric, the small is 12" x 18" and the large is about 63" x 18") and the type of design makes me think they're later rather than earlier.
The larger piece makes me wonder about monograms - the monogram at each end is composed of letters that are the same upside-down as right-side up, so I'm wondering - do you think the monogram is SWM or MWS?
