Antique American Square Multicolor Jewel Tones Allover Geometric 1920s Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 74 x 84 inches (6’2″ x 7′). 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.
The striking vertical bands alternate between a rich, saturated mustard gold and a pale, ethereal sky blue. This intentional use of high contrast colors creates a dynamic visual rhythm, characteristic of the period’s move toward bold graphic design. The overall aesthetic places this piece among the most compelling multicolor jewel tone textiles available in our collection.
While the primary structure is defined by the broad stripes, the surface is intricately detailed with fine stitching that forms a subtle, repetitive geometric pattern. The geometric repetition ensures a cohesive, non-directional field, classifying this as a superb example of allover design.
Condition: Good.
