MUSEUM QUALITY Vintage PRE CIVIL WAR Whig Rose Antique Quilt Swag Border! This VIBRANT cotton whig rose/yellow rose quilt is hand appliqued and hand quilted, with hand embroidered accents and a nice swag and tassel border. Not only does the quilt predate the Civil War, but the fabrics all appear to be from the pre-1830 era (using Trestain's fabric dating guide)!
The quilt measures 68" X 82" and is in excellent condition, with a couple of light age spots and no wear. There is quilting around and within the applique and in floral and vine designs in the background, all at 7 stitches to the inch. The back is white, the edge is hand stitched ("knife edge") and the batting is thin. The GORGEOUS, VERY EARLY FABRICS in AMAZING CONDITION make this DAZZLING COLLECTOR'S QUILT stand out!
