EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, hailing from the United States around 1820-1825, showcases the intricate and beautiful craftsmanship of American textile art from the 19th century. The coverlet, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the rich heritage of American textile design. The coverlet is made of cotton and wool, with a plain weave base and supplementary patterning wefts. The summer side features a geometric motif in white and yellow, while the winter side is adorned with a similar design in white and red. The two loom widths have been expertly joined, resulting in a cohesive and visually striking piece. This coverlet would have been a prized possession in a colonial American bedchamber, providing both warmth and elegance to the bedroom. The use of color and pattern adds depth and texture to the piece, making it a standout addition to any art collection. The coverlet is now part of the esteemed textile collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is admired by visitors from around the world. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in American art, textiles, or the history of bedcover design. Despite its unknown creator, this coverlet continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the rich artistic traditions that have shaped our country's cultural heritage. Its intricate patterns and beautiful colors continue to be a source of wonder and delight, making it a true treasure of American art.
