This stunning bedcover, known as a Double Irish Chain quilt, dates back to the 19th century in the United States. The exact creator of this intricately designed piece remains unknown, adding to its historical allure. The bedcover is a testament to the rich textile heritage of America during this period. The bedcover is backed with a cotton plain weave fabric and is pieced with smaller cotton plain weave panels, each featuring the distinctive Double Irish Chain motif. This geometric lattice design is a classic quilt pattern, popular during the 1800s in the United States. The colorful pieced panels are quilted together, creating a textured and visually appealing surface. The bedcover would have been a prized possession in a bedroom of the time, providing both warmth and decoration. The use of cotton fabric and the intricate needlework involved in creating this quilted bedcover demonstrates the skill and dedication of its maker. This Double Irish Chain bedcover is now part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcasing the importance of textiles and quilting in American art and heritage. The bedcover's intricate design and historical significance make it a must-see object for anyone interested in the history of American art and textiles.
