EDITORS COMMENTS
Bedcover from Bedcover, Pennsylvania, c. 1890/1900 This exquisite bedcover, hailing from Bedcover, Pennsylvania, dates back to the late 1800s, around 1890/1900. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The bedcover is a stunning example of American folk art, showcasing a rich blend of 18th and 19th century design elements. The bedcover is backed with a cotton plain weave, providing a sturdy foundation for the intricate layers of embellishments that follow. The primary design is a geometric motif, embroidered with silk feather stitches, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. The bedcover is further adorned with pieced sections, featuring a combination of plain twill and satin weaves, some printed, some self-patterned, and some with supplementary patterning wefts. The bedcover's edges are beautifully edged with twill weaves, adding a sense of cohesion and balance to the overall design. The use of cotton for quilting and bedding was a common practice during this time, reflecting the practicality and resourcefulness of rural communities. The bedcover's design elements suggest a Mennonite influence, a Christian religious group known for their simple lifestyle and emphasis on community and craftsmanship. The intricate needlework and attention to detail displayed in this bedcover are a testament to the artistic heritage and cultural traditions of rural Pennsylvania during the late 1800s. This bedcover is a precious object that transports us back in time, inviting us to appreciate the craftsmanship, creativity, and cultural significance of American folk art.
