Antique American 1920s Square Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 68 x 72 inches (5'8" 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. The design utilizes a dense, repetitive diamond lattice, giving the impression of a meticulously pieced quilt. Each diamond frame alternates between stylized floral bouquets—often containing roses and smaller filler flowers—and complex geometric segments composed of chevrons and angular lines. This dense coverage creates a truly captivating visual field, characteristic of allover design that fill the entire surface without relying on a central medallion. A sophisticated, yet playful, palette defines this piece.
