Antique American Multicolor 1890s Square Striped Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 75 x 80 inches (6'3" x 6'8"). 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 powerful, minimalist geometry, featuring wide, horizontal bands of sharply contrasting color. This simple yet highly effective composition creates an allover effect, ensuring visual continuity across the entire square surface without the need for complex medallions or intricate borders. The palette is rich and saturated, dominated by deep crimson and a sophisticated, dark teal.
