EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, hailing from the United States around 1825-1830, showcases the intricate beauty of American textile art from the 19th century. The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystique. The coverlet is a fragment of a larger bedspread or bedchamber set, featuring a captivating geometric motif woven in a cotton and wool plain weave double cloth. The design is characterized by its main warp fringe and red, black, and white color palette. The red and white stripes create a dynamic contrast against the black background, while the geometric motif adds an element of sophistication and complexity. The coverlet's fringed edges add a touch of elegance and completeness to the piece. This coverlet is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and crafts, particularly in the realm of textiles. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the objects of our past, which tell the story of our cultural history. The coverlet is currently housed in the Textiles department of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Its intricate design and beautiful color palette make it a standout piece in any art center or gallery, and a true treasure of American art.
