Antique American Ivory 1935 Square Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 80 x 81 inches (6'8" x 6'9"). 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. This exceptional piece is a rare example of early 20th-century textile art, bridging the gap between traditional folk craft and sophisticated modern design. The design is characterized by a striking interplay of cool blue and a warm, aged ivory color field. The composition of this Square quilt utilizes nested squares and diamonds, creating a dynamic, centralized focus that draws the eye inward.
