Antiques Quilts and Toppers
Lot 433:
Description
60 x 70 This antique American crazy quilt coverlet, dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, is constructed from an asymmetrical patchwork of irregularly shaped fabric scraps. The materials include various silks, satins, velvets, and printed cottons in a diverse palette of deep purples, maroons, lime green florals, and patterned prints. The coverlet is hand-pieced and lacks the decorative embroidery often found on Victorian-era examples. The reverse is lined with a solid, dusty rose-colored cotton or cotton-blend fabric featuring a central vertical seam where two panels are joined.
