This outstanding quilt is most certainly the work of an extremely talented and creative artist. The variety of images, colors, stitching, textures and techniques are just amazing to say the least. .
Remarkably, this antique quilt was beautifully preserved for generations. There are though, some spots and discoloration and some of the silk pieces are shredding and stringy. Other than those, I don't see any major issues. Stitching is strong. Backing is beautiful. There is no binding around the edges.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I have lots more photos but could only include 12 in this listing. If you'd like to see more message me. * I also have another larger version of this quilt, as well as extra quilt blocks and several extra velvet fabric pieces. I'm listing these separately because there is only so much info I could put in a single listing but I do hope both quilts and pieces go to the same home.If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Please note that all sales are final and I am not able to accept returns.
