Antique American Square 1920s Multicolor Quilt

$1,125.00

Antique American Square 1920s Multicolor Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 79 x 79 inches (6'7" x 6'7"). 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 design is a masterful homage to the American quilt tradition, specifically utilizing the bold, graphic impact of sawtooth borders and central medallion layouts. The composition is defined by sharp, precise lines and balanced symmetry, classifying it among the finest examples of early modern geometric textiles with a distinct square silhouette.
