19th and early 20th century luxury-cloth fragments - some with old metal embroidery - with beads, buttons, shells, mirrors and tiny metal discs. Many of these so-called “crazy quilts” have been created for the export market, with this being an excellent example of that craft. Excellent condition, but missing a few mirrors. 39”x 53”.
