CONCA1 Optical Illusion Double Wedding Ring Quilt
c.1955
78 x 88 inches
New Hampshire
$1,600
This mint condition quilt may be an original optical illusion
design of the well known Double Wedding Ring pattern.
Created from dozens of fine English fabrics made by Liberty Of
London. One can easily see different design patterns perfectly
executed all by hand. In addition to this unusual pattern the maker has
surrounded the quilt's border with a brick design taking this
graphically amazing design to another level. A border on a quilt is
comparable to the frame on a painting with its importance both visually
and technically.
The joining squares, which actually have created the Nine Patch pattern,
measure 2" X 2". The curved pieces in the Wedding Ring circle measure
1/2" x 2" X 3/4". The border bricks measure 10" in length and are
actually comprised of 5 2" squares. The 3/8" white binding is separately
applied also by hand.
Provenance upon sale.
