Antique American Square Allover Geometric Multicolor Jewel Tones 1920s Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 82 x 84 inches (6’10” 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.
This exceptional textile piece, dating from the early 20th century, presents a vibrant composition defined by rich multicolor jewel tones.
The design adheres to a striking allover geometric design, where irregularly shaped patches of fabric—many featuring stripes, plaids, and paisley elements—are meticulously stitched together. This unique needlework technique evokes the folk artistry of the American quilt style, transforming utilitarian materials into a vibrant, abstract composition.
As a square quilt, it provides a symmetrical foundation for modern or traditional interiors.
Condition: Good.
