This authentic 19th century Irish Chain quilt, hand-crafted in cotton during the late 1800s, is a beautifully preserved example of classic American quiltmaking tradition. Featuring the iconic Irish Chain pattern, the composition is defined by vivid red pieced squares arranged against a warm ivory ground, creating a rhythmic, visually balanced design with enduring appeal.
The quilt is executed with exceptionally fine hand stitching throughout, showcasing the maker’s technical skill and careful attention to detail. Originally created for everyday use, this textile transcends its utilitarian origins, standing today as a work of American folk art that reflects a culture of resourcefulness, craftsmanship, and material reuse.
