Antique American Multicolor 1890s Square Geometric Quilt

$1,650.00

Antique American Multicolor 1890s Square Geometric Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 62 x 64 inches (5'2" x 5'4"). 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 textile is a striking example of a late 19th-century historic American quilt in a square format, representing a tradition of domestic artistry that transcends mere utility. The design relies on a powerful contrast of large, block-pieced elements, creating a central diamond motif framed by dark borders.
