Antique American Allover Geometric Square Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 77 x 78 inches (6’5″ x 6’6″). 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 is defined by a striking, large-scale diamond motif executed in an allover geometric arrangement. This repetition creates a powerful visual rhythm, emphasizing the quilt’s architectural quality. The inspiration is clearly drawn from the domestic artistry of the quilt design tradition, offering a sophisticated, graphic interpretation of Americana in a perfectly balanced square format.
The palette is remarkably restrained, utilizing only two tones: a soft, creamy white contrasted against a cool, muted sage-gray. This highly selective and subtle coloration deviates from the typical saturation found in many contemporary pieces, lending the quilt an air of quiet elegance and versatility, suitable for a range of modern or traditional interiors.
Condition: Good.
