This stunning coverlet, hailing from the United States around 1830-1840, showcases the intricate beauty of American textile art from the 19th century. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The coverlet is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and crafts, and is currently housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago. Measuring approximately 72 inches by 84 inches, this coverlet is made of cotton and wool, woven in a plain weave double cloth. The design features a captivating geometric motif, with stars and other shapes arranged in a symmetrical pattern. The coverlet is further adorned with fringes along the edges, adding a touch of elegance and texture. The coverlet's color palette is dominated by shades of blue and red, which were popular choices for bedchamber textiles during this period. The two loom widths joined to create this expansive piece demonstrate the skill and expertise of the weaver. The coverlet's design is reminiscent of haberdashery patterns popular during this era, reflecting the influence of European textile traditions on American art. This coverlet would have been a prized possession in a bedroom, providing both warmth and visual interest to the bedchamber. Its intricate design and high-quality fabric make it a valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the beauty and craftsmanship of American textiles from the 19th century.
