EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, hailing from the United States and dated between 1870 and 1876, is an exquisite example of 19th century American textile art. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The coverlet is a full loom width, seamless piece, woven on a loom with a jacquard attachment. It is made of cotton and wool in a plain weave double cloth, showcasing a beautiful blend of red and white colors. The design of the coverlet is a delightful medley of geometric and organic motifs. The predominant motif is a bold diamond pattern, interspersed with floral and animal motifs. The intricate weaving technique allows for the patterns to be woven directly into the fabric without the need for additional embellishments or applique. This coverlet would have been a prized possession in a bedroom or bedchamber of the time, providing warmth and comfort as well as a splash of color and design. The coverlet's heritage is rooted in Pennsylvania, reflecting the rich textile tradition of the region. Today, this coverlet is a cherished object in the textile collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed for all to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of its creator. The coverlet is a testament to the beauty and importance of textiles in American history and culture.
