Antique American 1920s Square Multicolor Jewel Tones Allover Geometric Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 65 x 72 inches (5'5" x 6'). It is pieced from fabric and quilted through to a backing, not knotted or woven like a rug. Quilts like this were made as bed coverings; today they are hung as textile art or used as a throw or bed topper. Because it is a textile, we do not recommend it for use on the floor. This striking example of early 20th-century textile art presents a powerful geometric study, capturing the evolving aesthetics of the period and moving away from traditional European or Oriental designs toward a distinctly modern, regional style. The palette is rich and saturated, utilizing deep, contrasting hues that define the quilt's bold structure.
