EDITORS COMMENTS
This fragment of a bedcover, hailing from the United States during the 1880s, showcases the intricate and diverse textile artistry of the 19th century. The unknown creator expertly pieced together a mesmerizing composition of triangular shapes, formed by cutting and reassembling various fabrics. The bedcover is backed with a combination of cotton and silk plain weaves, some displaying self-patterning and satin weaves. The quilted design boasts a vibrant palette, with multicolored hues that add to its allure. The bedcover's surface is adorned with a myriad of textures and techniques. Some areas feature supplementary patterning warps or wefts, while others showcase self-patterned designs and even supplementary pile warps, creating a velvet-like effect. Warp resist dyed chine adds further dimension to the piece. The intricate needlework is stitched with cotton threads, binding the various fabrics together in a harmonious composition. This fragment serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 19th century, reflecting the creativity, skill, and resourcefulness of its makers. This artifact is now preserved and displayed in the textile collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
