EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, created in the United States around 1820-1825, showcases the intricate beauty of American textile art from the 19th century. The exact creator of this piece remains unknown, but its exquisite design and craftsmanship are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. The coverlet is made from a cotton and wool plain weave double cloth, with two loom widths joined together. The fabric is adorned with a captivating array of geometric and star motifs, arranged in circles and interconnected patterns. The blue and white color palette adds to the piece's timeless appeal, while the fringed edges add a touch of elegance. This coverlet was likely used in a bedroom or bedchamber as a bedspread or bedcover. The use of a jacquard attachment on the loom allowed for the intricate designs to be woven with precision, resulting in a visually stunning and durable textile. The coverlet is a prime example of the rich heritage of American arts and crafts, showcasing the country's textile traditions during the nineteenth century. It is a treasure to be admired for its artistic merit and historical significance. This image of the coverlet is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art museum and cultural institution that houses an extensive collection of American and international art spanning from ancient to contemporary times. The coverlet is just one of the many fascinating objects that tell the story of America's artistic past and present.
