Textile Art from the 1890's in the color palate of the 2020's! Sophistication and artistic ability combine to create art! During the end of the 19th century, beginning around 1878, Victorian Crazy Quilts were the rage. Silk quilts were never made to use for warmth, but as embellishment. Victorian homes could never have enough art!

The muted colors of muted black, gray, browns and slate blue are artistically patterned then surrounded with embellishment in a muted gold floss. Almost all silk antique quilts are tied not quilted as is this one. Each square reminds me of a slate floor only in silk. Each Crazy Quilt is a totally unique design and therefore may be called original art!

We are happy to teach you how to hang this artistic masterpiece in a curatorial manner. What a focal point to any room ....or embellishment on a guest bed...where it is not used, but is enjoyed as art.

This quilt can be sent to you, with free shipping, for your approval...it is much more stunning when you can actually see it in person.
