Antique American Allover Geometric Square Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 81 x 81 inches (6’9″ 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 innovative approach elevates the domestic craft into a piece of fine art suitable for the most discerning collector seeking unique historical textiles.
The palette is characterized by a selection of vibrant, yet subtly aged, multicolor jewel tones. Deep blues, sage greens, and warm earth browns are meticulously balanced against the expansive, soft blush-beige ground, allowing the geometric motifs to float with clarity and visual impact across the square composition.
The comprehensive coverage of the field establishes it as a superb example of allover design, offering both historical significance and unparalleled graphic appeal for contemporary interiors.
Condition: Good.
