EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, hailing from the United States around 1820-1830, showcases the intricate artistry of American textile design during the 19th century. The exact creator of this piece remains unknown, but its beauty and craftsmanship are a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and crafts. The coverlet is a masterful blend of cotton and wool, demonstrating the skillful use of plain weave with supplementary patterning wefts overshot. The two loom widths have been expertly joined to create a larger, eye-catching design. The predominantly blue and white color palette is adorned with geometric motifs, adding a sense of order and symmetry to the piece. This coverlet would have once graced the bedchamber of an affluent American family, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to their bedroom. The bedspread, with its intricate patterns and designs, would have been a cherished possession, reflecting the owner's appreciation for the arts and their commitment to supporting local craftspeople. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this coverlet in its collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and significance firsthand. The coverlet serves as a reminder of the rich textile heritage of the United States and the skill and creativity of its early craftspeople. Its geometric motifs and intricate patterns continue to inspire and captivate viewers, making it a must-see for anyone interested in American arts and crafts.
