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.
