EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, hailing from the United States during the 19th century, showcases the intricate beauty and craftsmanship of American textile art. The exact creator of this piece remains unknown, but it is believed to have been produced between the years 1850 and 1900. The coverlet is made of wool in a plain weave double cloth, with a main warp bottom and an attached knotted yarn edge fringe. The fabric is adorned with vibrant floral motifs in shades of blue and red, woven on a loom with a jacquard attachment. The coverlet's design is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and crafts, reflecting the country's strong tradition in haberdashery and textile production. The coverlet's patterns and motifs are reminiscent of those found in Pennsylvania Dutch quilts and other regional textile arts of the time. This coverlet would have been a prized possession in a bedroom or bedchamber, providing both functional bedclothes and decorative accents. The coverlet's fringed edges add a touch of elegance and sophistication, making it a standout piece in any collection of 19th-century American arts and textiles. Today, this coverlet is a cherished object in the textile collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art and textile production.
