EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning crewel bedspread, created by American artist Lawrence Peterson in approximately 1937, is a beautiful example of the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s. The multi-colored, floral design is intricately embroidered onto the fabric using crewel needles, with the detailed patterns showcasing Peterson's skillful hand and eye. The bedspread is decorated with a variety of flowers, each one meticulously rendered in vibrant hues, creating a lively and eye-catching display. The bedspread is not only a work of art but also a functional object, designed to add warmth and beauty to a bedroom. Peterson's use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard as a preliminary sketch for the design further highlights the thought and care put into each element of the piece. This crewel bedspread is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and craft during the 20th century. It can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is indexed under the Index of American Design. The bedspread is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the decorative arts, which continue to inspire and delight us today.
