Antique American Multicolor Jewel Tones Geometric Medallion 1920s Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 68 x 81 inches (5’8″ 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.
The visual impact is defined by its striking use of multicolor jewel tone textiles, where saturated reds, deep teals, and rich purples are juxtaposed against softer, neutral fields.
Structurally, the design adheres to a strong, centralized composition. The primary field showcases a bold, stylized medallion framed by wide, contrasting borders, emphasizing the rigorous structure typical of geometric textiles. This reliance on defined lines and blocks of color gives the piece a sophisticated, architectural presence.
It is a testament to enduring American craftsmanship.
Condition: Good.
