About the Item

Early 20th Century American Bed Quilt ( 8'9'' x 10' - 267 x 305 ) This unique textile presents a striking geometric design that immediately evokes the traditional American quilting aesthetic. The repeating pattern, known as the Mariner's Compass or Compass Rose, is one of radiating starbursts set within squares which creates a powerful visual rhythm. The use as a bed spread is obvious through the bottom corners, designed not to hang droopily off the bottom corner of the mattress. The artistry of design very much so an Americana vibe. A sophisticated palette of creams, tans, and deep chocolate browns, interspersed with subtle floral and patterned fabric patches within the squares. While drawing inspiration from domestic textile arts, this item functions perfectly as a floor covering, offering both historical significance and durable utility.
