This is an Antique American quilt made circa 1890's-1910. Lady Lancaster had this piece embroidered with the Queen's profile after Queen Elizabeth passed as a tribute. This piece is spectacular for its hand quilting. Each stripe has a different quilted motif. For example the blue stripe is quilted with tulips, the red stripe is quilted with stars, the ivory stripe is quilted with leaves, and the olive stripe depicts the Greek key. This piece is a true rescue, as it has lots and lots of mends on the khaki/brownish color stripe. There are some areas of sun bleach throughout. We had a little fun with a play on stripes by reversing the direction the stripes run on the front two panels and pockets. We cannot emphasize enough that this piece is a rescue and shows wear and mending throughout and is priced according. The quilt is thin, very light weight, soft, has a buttery drape, and is very comfortable to wear. If you have further questions please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.
