EDITORS COMMENTS
This fragment from a mosaic or honeycomb quilt, created in the United States during the 19th century, showcases the intricate beauty and artistry of American needlework. The bedcover, dating back to 1876, is a stunning example of the quilting techniques and textile innovations popular during this era. The quilt is made from a combination of silk and cotton plain twill and satin weaves, some with self-patterning and others with brocading wefts. The use of cut solid velvet adds an exquisite textural element to the design. Some warp threads are painted with chine, a type of watercolor on fabric, further enhancing the quilt's visual appeal. This fragment, which likely once adorned a grand bedspread or bedcover, demonstrates the skillful piecing over paper techniques used during this time. The colors and patterns are a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of the unknown artist. The quilt's intricate design and rich history make it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. Its presence in a museum or art institute serves as a reminder of the heritage and cultural significance of textiles in American art and history. This fragment, though a small piece of a larger bedcover, stands alone as a work of art, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of American needlework during the 19th century.
