Antique American Square Multicolor 1920s Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 77 x 79 inches (6’5″ 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 field presents an elegant allover design, where stylized tulip motifs in soft pink and pale yellow are dispersed across a luminous, near-white ground, creating a sense of movement and lightness across the square surface.
The palette is remarkably soft, utilizing subtle shades of rose and buttercup yellow against a high-key background. This restrained use of hue places the piece among highly desirable multicolor jewel tone textiles that prioritize subtlety over saturation, offering a refined, airy quality perfect for contemporary or period interiors seeking gentle color accents in a square format.
