Entirely constructed from individually cut and carefully sewn fabric elements, the quilt reflects the remarkable skill, patience, and dedication inherent to the finest 19th-century domestic needlework traditions.
The composition features a charming flower and circle pattern, with graceful motifs rendered in soft pale green, warm yellow, and rich red tones, all beautifully set against a luminous ivory ground. Each framed section was meticulously hand-stitched, giving the quilt a refined sense of balance and rhythm while underscoring its status as a true labor of love.
Highly sought after by collectors, and interior designers, 19th- and early-20th-century hand-stitched American quilts have become increasingly rare and collectible. Owing to its delicate beauty and painterly presence, this exceptional textile is ideally suited for use as wall-mounted textile art.
