Chintz Center Medallion Quilt: Circa 1900; Maryland

Antiques: Decorative Art: Textiles: Quilts Pre 1900: item #725897

Fabulous Center Medallion quilt with glazed chintz fabrics of the early 19th century probably appliqued 70 years later, circa 1900. Unwashed condition. Stunning design comprised of a variety of birds and flowers and accented by three grand peacocks. Unfortunately, we will never be certain as to why this did not get completed in the 19th century. The good news is that it was well assembled, although at a later date. Some would refer to this as a "mother - daughter" quilt. Maryland origin; measure... Click for details

Variable Stars Quilt with Bow Ties; Circa 1880; Pa.

Antiques: Decorative Art: Textiles: Quilts Pre 1900: item #724783

Fabulous rendition of a Variable Stars quilt that is much more complex than it appears initially. The Hourglass (or Bow Tie) grid is made of blocks that are actually the same as the arms of the stars. The intersections of the grid also form Variable Stars that are the opposite colors of the primary stars. A very lively, unusual combination of patterns. Excellent condition. Measures 70" x 76"; Pennsylvania origin. Circa 1880.

Schoolhouse Quilt: Circa 1880; New England

Antiques: Decorative Art: Textiles: Quilts Pre 1900: item #724777

What quilt pattern can be more representative of Americana than little red Schoolhouses? This example is particularly interesting because of the clever resolution of the need to have houses facing both sides of the bed. I don't believe I've seen one before in which the maker alternated the directions of the blocks in the center row. Excellent condition; professionally laundered. Measures 70" x 80". New England origin; circa 1880.
