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.
