EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite coverlet, hailing from New England in the early 19th century, showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and artistic vision of an unknown weaver. Dated between 1801 and 1825, this two-loom widths joined textile is a testament to the rich textile heritage of America during this period. The coverlet is adorned with a stunning checked pattern, featuring a harmonious blend of blue and white hues. The intricate design, reminiscent of plaid or chequered patterns, is achieved through the meticulous process of wool plain weave. The coverlet's vibrant colors and bold geometric pattern suggest its use in a bedchamber, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to the bedroom. The coverlet's two-loom widths joined construction indicates that it was woven on a larger loom, allowing for a larger piece to be created in one go. This technique was common during the 19th century, particularly in New England, where textile production was a significant industry. This coverlet is a precious example of the artistic and cultural heritage of America during the nineteenth century. Its intricate design and beautiful colors continue to captivate viewers at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is now housed as an important part of their textile collection. The coverlet's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich textile traditions of New England.
