Antique American 1920s Square Geometric Jewel Tones Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 84 x 84 inches (7' 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 field is dominated by a striking diagonal trellis, forming large diamond reserves across the entire surface. This highly graphic, allover geometric structure is rendered in rich, striped bands of deep maroon, contrasting sharply against the cream ground. The subtle speckling within the diamonds adds textural depth, reinforcing the overall definition of this multicolor jewel tone palette within its square format.
