Antique American Coral Square Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 74 x 84 inches (6’2″ x 7′). 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 field is dominated by a vibrant, yet softened, palette of coral hues, creating a warm and inviting foundation that defines its unique character.
The main field features a highly detailed, repeating floral motif executed in an allover design that completely saturates the surface. This dense arrangement ensures visual interest from every perspective, avoiding the need for a centralized medallion.
Intricate detailing is achieved through fine needlework, incorporating subtle accents of pale blue, cream, and ochre yellow that provide depth against the primary coral ground. The composition is framed by a striking border featuring a bold paisley pattern, offering a dramatic contrast in both scale and color saturation.
