EDITORS COMMENTS
This bedcover hails from the quaint town of Bedcover, Indiana, during the 1880s. The exact creator of this intricate piece remains unknown, but its beauty and craftsmanship are a testament to the artistic prowess of the community during that era. The bedcover is a stunning example of self-patterned textiles, with the main warp and ground weft floats creating a mesmerizing design. The bedcover is predominantly made of cotton, with some areas featuring satin stitch embroidery in silk. The multi-colored palette adds vibrancy and charm, reflecting the rich heritage of the region. The quilted design showcases various techniques, including roller printing and some areas with supplementary pile warps forming cut velvet, as well as supplementary patterning warps. This bedcover is not only a functional piece of bedroom furniture but also a work of art, showcasing the deep-rooted traditions of Christianity and the Amish community in Indiana during the 19th century. The intricate needlework and quilting knots add to its timeless appeal, making it a cherished object that continues to inspire awe and admiration. This rare and exquisite piece is now part of the esteemed collections at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate visitors and scholars alike. The bedcover is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Bedcover, Indiana, and the 19th century in America.
