Antique American Square Geometric Medallion 1920s Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 72 x 81 inches (6' 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 design is dominated by a powerful central star motif, executed through meticulous piecing that creates a dynamic, three-dimensional effect. This highly structured composition is a prime example of geometric textiles, where repeating diamond and triangular forms build an optical illusion of depth and movement across the square surface. A rich, high-contrast palette defines this piece, utilizing deep maroon and brilliant gold-ochre set against crisp white accents. Condition: Good.
