Gorgeous antique French quilt dating c 1860
This is an extraordinary find, lovely hand quilted French whole cloth quilt. The design on this quilt is beautifully printed, and was all printed by hand using wooden block prints. The ground is a wonderful pale ivory tone, and the other colors incude: pink, deep scarlet red, pale blue, and a latte brown in the striped pattern. It is truly lovely! ~*~ It is a very old quilt and was all stitched by hand in the most beautiful pattern!~ very difficult to photograph, by the owner of this quilt will be thrilled when they hold it in their hands! The stitching pattern is a large sunburst~~*~ The front is the wonderful block print, and there is a light cotton batting in the center. The back is an ivory toned cotton. Both fabrics on the front and back are a very finely woven cotton~ it is a lovely large quilt, 7.5 feet wide by 7.5 feet long~ these textiles are rare indeed, and so exciting to find in such a wonderful quilted pattern, in such good condition! ~*~
This quilt measures 7.5 feet wide by 7.54 feet long~ ~ it is in original unwashed condition. ~ ~*~ ~ The front floral design has some small areas of damage throughout the quilt, nothing that would not be expected for its age. They are small holes that don't penetrate the back of the quilt. There are no large holes, only very very small holes on the floral fabric. Along the edges there are places where the stitching has come un-stitched, could be easily repaired by some hand stitching, however I would , personally leave it as is. The back of this quilt has some staining that I am certain will not fully wash. It is in larger pale marks, but the staining is not on the front of the quilt.

Please email me if condition is vital to your purchase and we can discuss condition in detail. When describing my textiles, I use my best judgment, knowledge and experience to estimate their age. I have had many years of research and hands on experience with these wonderful textiles. I describe items as Antique if I estimate the age to be 100 years of age or greater. EBay currently define an antique as dating to 1930 or earlier. I describe items as Vintage, as per the dictionary definition, if I feel the textile has age, or is outdated or old-fashioned, dating from the past. If I use both Antique/Vintage when describing a textile, it is because I feel the textile is most likely 100 years of age or greater, but may fall just short of that date. I often work in collaboration with other colleagues and textile specialists to ascertain the approximate age of my textiles, however ultimately any statement of age is a matter of best judgment only~*~I also use my best professional judgment to ascertain the fiber content of my textiles, using sight and feel and where possible historical information and context to help me to identify plants used in a particular era. However, because my textiles are old, any statement of fiber content is again always only my best professional assessment. ~*~ I feel privileged and honored to bring these textiles to you, I sincerely thank you for your interest ~*~
