About the Item

A striking and expressive example of American textile art, this early 20th-century Crazy Quilt features a vivid patchwork of hand-cut and hand-stitched cotton and flannel pieces in turquoise, pink, yellow, navy, red, and more. The irregular, abstract shapes are joined by intricate herringbone embroidery, giving the quilt visual rhythm and textural detail. Set on a soft flannel cotton backing, the quilt balances aesthetic richness with tactile warmth. Discovered in New England and likely crafted in Pennsylvania, this piece embodies the traditional Crazy Quilt form—created not for bedding but as decorative throws that doubled as a form of artistic expression. With its vibrant palette and artisanal construction, it is ideal for display as wall art or as a bold, historic accent in interior decor.

Early 20th Century American Crazy Quilt in Turquoise, Pink, Yellow, Navy, Green
Located in Barrington, IL
A vibrant and visually compelling example of early American textile art, this Crazy Quilt dates to the early 1900s and showcases the rich, expressive tradition of folk craftsmanship. Composed of individually hand-cut and hand-stitched cotton and flannel pieces in vivid hues—including turquoise, pink, yellow, navy, and red—this quilt is characterized by its abstract, improvisational layout. Decorative herringbone embroidery accentuates the seams, adding texture and sophistication. The quilt is backed with soft flannel cotton, enhancing both comfort and durability. Found in New England and likely made in Pennsylvania, it reflects the ingenuity of early American makers who repurposed textiles into functional yet highly decorative works of art. Originally intended as a decorative throw rather than a bed covering, this quilt is perfect for use as a wall hanging or accent textile in refined interiors.

19th Century Hand Stitched American Silk Quilt
Located in Barrington, IL
Celebrate the brilliance of American folk art with this exquisite hand-stitched silk quilt from the late 19th century. Crafted with exceptional skill and care, this quilt features an ultra-modern aesthetic that echoes the iconic “piece bars” style popularized by 19th-century Mennonite quilters in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Each rectangular silk piece—measuring approximately 1” x 5”—was individually cut and stitched by hand, creating a striking geometric design that feels both timeless and avant-garde. The rich array of vibrant silk fabrics shimmers with life, making this quilt a true visual feast and a testament to the maker’s artistry and dedication. More than a textile, this quilt is a labor of love—an heirloom-quality work of art that bridges function and beauty. Due to the delicate nature of 19th-century silk, such quilts have become increasingly rare and highly collectible. Their fragility only adds to their mystique and historical value. Perfect as a wall tapestry, this handcrafted quilt is equally captivating whether displayed vertically or horizontally. It’s a powerful conversation piece and a beautiful window into America’s rich quilting heritage.
