EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Woven Coverlet, created by Elizabeth Valentine around 1936, is a beautiful example of American decorative arts from the 20th century. The coverlet, which measures approximately 61 x 76 inches, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Valentine, an accomplished artist, designed this coverlet using a combination of watercolor and graphite on paper, meticulously planning the intricate geometric pattern that would later be woven into the textile. The resulting design is a vibrant and colorful composition of interconnected shapes, with shades of blue dominating the palette. The coverlet's geometric pattern is a hallmark of the Art Deco style, which was popular in America during the 1930s and 1940s. The design's bold lines and repeating shapes reflect the era's appreciation for modernity and the machine-made, as well as the continuing influence of traditional folk art. This coverlet is a significant addition to any collection of decorative arts or textiles, and would make a stunning centerpiece in a home. It is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American-made decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. Valentine's Woven Coverlet is not only a beautiful object in its own right, but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities and cultural values of mid-20th century America.
