THIS IS A MUSEUM WORTHY SHOW STOPPER. IT IS HIGHLY COLLECTABLE AND VERY RARE! We are beyond proud to have this in our gallery. This is an American Antique quilt made circa 1880's-1910. We have researched two different quilt encyclopedias and can not find this pattern. We believe the maker combined three different patterns to make the center medallion. If you have ever seen any pattern like this please reach out, we would love to know more about it, it is truly the work of a master! This is a very historic quilt made and sourced from Lancaster, Pa. It is exceptional for its its beautiful hand sewing, and its hand quilting, and highly technical execution. This was not made in a humble home, the maker used luxe fabrics. We love the elevated turn of the century backing fabric(inside of jacket) which adds depth to the overall design. This can best be appreciated when the cuffs are rolled or the jacket is worn inside out. This is a true fashion multitasker. In our opinion this piece is thin soft, light weight with a perfect drape. This piece is in excellent condition. We were definitely the first people to wash this quilt. This is truly a Lady Lancaster 10/10. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.
