Antique American Geometric Layered Brick Folk Art Design Square Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 63 x 70 inches (5’3″ x 5’10”). 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 employs a distinctive brickwork motif, executed with precision needlework, echoing the domestic artistry of traditional American textiles. This rare quilt style quilt utilizes a highly structured, repeating allover pattern that covers the entire field, lending it a striking architectural quality.
Condition: Good.
