About the Item

large-format Antique American Quilt, a true piece of textile history and folk art. This magnificent quilt features a complex and mesmerizing Mosaic Triangle pattern, meticulously hand-stitched from hundreds of individual cotton patches. The dynamic, scrappy composition showcases a beautiful, muted palette of early-to-mid 20th-century fabrics, including charming prints, plaids, and solids in warm earth tones, deep blues, and creamy neutrals. This piece is a testament to the quilter's skill, resourcefulness, and dedication, transforming simple cotton scraps into a geometric masterpiece. It would be an exquisite addition to any collection of vintage Americana, textile art, or primitive decor. Based on the style of the cotton fabrics and the simple, scrappy construction, we estimate this quilt dates from the Late Victorian to the Depression Era (approximately 1900 to 1940s). Maker: An anonymous, highly skilled American maker, possibly a farm wife or community member, who utilised scraps from clothing and household materials—a traditional practice reflecting the values of thrift and creativity common in American quilting history. Condition: good Vintage Condition for its age. The colors are beautifully time-worn and muted, consistent with a textile that has been carefully used and loved. Geometric Design: The repeating triangular motif creates an illusion of depth and movement, a hallmark of excellent Folk Art design. Warm Tones: The faded, harmonious colors give it an authentic, cozy Primitive or Farmhouse Aesthetic. Potential Uses: Statement Bedding: Use as a throw or coverlet at the foot of a Queen or Full bed. Wall Art: The large size and stunning pattern make it an incredible textile wall hanging in a living room, dining room. Collector's Item: A valuable addition to any collection of Antique Quilts or American Textile Art.
