EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning whole cloth quilt, featuring a captivating pillar print design, dates back to the early 19th century, approximately 1830. The quilt's origins are unknown, but it is believed to have been created in Britain during the 1880s. The quilt is made of printed and quilted cotton, showcasing a rich, colorful floral design that is both intricate and timeless. The pillar print design is a standout feature of this piece, with its repetition of tall, stylized floral motifs that resemble pillars. The print is set against a solid pink background, adding depth and contrast to the design. The quilting adds texture and dimension to the fabric, enhancing the overall visual appeal. The quilt's design is a testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown creator. The use of a full-frame, printed design was a popular choice during the 19th century, reflecting the growing influence of the textile industry in Britain. The quilt's intricate floral pattern and attention to detail demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship that was required to create such a piece. Today, this beautiful quilt is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is cherished as a valuable piece of heritage art. The quilt's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich textile traditions of Britain during the 19th century.
