About the Item

This exceptional early 20th century American Crazy Quilt is a rare and beautifully preserved example of American folk textile artistry, originating from the Hudson Valley region of New York. Entirely hand-pieced, hand-stitched, and hand-tied, the quilt reflects the extraordinary craftsmanship and expressive creativity of its maker. Each individual fabric element was meticulously hand cut and assembled, resulting in a richly textured surface and an engaging, painterly composition. The spontaneous arrangement of varied textiles and the quilt’s bold yet harmonious visual rhythm evoke the spirit of Gee’s Bend quilts, celebrated for their modernist sensibility and cultural significance. Distinguished by its uncommon square format, this quilt offers remarkable versatility and scale, making it especially well suited for use as textile wall art or a tapestry-style focal point. Both visually striking and historically meaningful, this quilt stands as a compelling piece of American folkloric art.

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.

An American Civil War Era African American Southern Quilt
Located in Barrington, IL
This extraordinary hand-stitched quilt, dating to the American Civil War era (circa 1860–1870), originates from the deep South—likely Alabama or Georgia—and stands as a powerful example of African American folk artistry during one of the most pivotal periods in American history. Crafted from wool and homespun blankets, the quilt features a striking design of diagonally pieced squares composed of repurposed clothing in shades of navy, brown, red, and gray. These textiles are believed to be remnants of garments worn during the Civil War, transformed through necessity and creativity into a work of enduring beauty and cultural significance. The back of the quilt is made from a bold red and gray striped textile, adding a distinctive visual contrast. Quilts like this—made by African Americans in the Reconstruction-era South—are exceedingly rare and deeply meaningful. They embody both resilience and resourcefulness, and serve as powerful expressions of heritage, survival, and artistic identity. This particular quilt comes from the collection of a Civil Rights attorney who has spent decades practicing in Alabama and Georgia, with a devoted interest in preserving African American folk art from the Civil War era. Its provenance adds another layer of depth and historical significance.

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.
