EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite bedcover, created by Mary Jones in the United States between 1795 and 1820, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic talent of American needlework during the 18th and 19th centuries. The bedcover, made of center cotton plain weave fabric, features a stunning design of interconnected floral and geometric motifs, embroidered with silk cotton and wool in various stitches such as buttonhole chain, cross, single cross feather, roumanian satin, single satin stem, and twined double running. The bedcover's intricate design was achieved through a combination of block copperplate and roller printing techniques, which allowed for precise and consistent reproduction of the patterns. The floral motifs, inspired by nature, are meticulously rendered in vibrant colors, adding to the overall beauty and charm of the piece. This bedcover is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of America during this period, when needlework was a highly valued skill and a source of pride for many women. The bedcover would have been a cherished possession in a colonial or early federal-style bedroom, providing both functional and decorative value. This beautiful artifact is now preserved and displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. The intricate needlework and delicate printing techniques used in creating this bedcover serve as a reminder of the skill and creativity that defined American art during the 18th and 19th centuries.
