EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, hailing from Coverlet, Pennsylvania, in the United States, dates back to the year 1846. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The coverlet is a beautiful example of American folk art from the nineteenth century, showcasing intricate designs and patterns woven into its fabric. The coverlet is made of cotton and wool, using a plain weave with secondary binding warps and patterning wefts. The design is a captivating blend of geometric and floral motifs, with stars and stripes adding to its visual appeal. The two loom widths have been expertly joined, resulting in a breathtaking composition that would have once adorned a bedchamber in a rural Pennsylvania home. The coverlet's intricate design was likely achieved using a jacquard attachment on the loom, allowing for complex patterns to be woven into the fabric. The black color adds an elegant contrast to the various shades of white and other colors found in the design. This coverlet is a testament to the rich heritage of American textile arts and the skill and creativity of its unknown maker. Today, this coverlet is a cherished object in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Its intricate patterns and beautiful design serve as a reminder of the artistic traditions and cultural heritage of the United States in the nineteenth century.
