CONRA1 Hand Enbroidered Patriotic Eagle with Patriotic Symbols
c.1898-1919
68 x 84 inches
Midwest, maybe Illinois
Please call for more information and price
Dating this blanket will help date this incredible hand embroidered
Eagle with symbols, including a medallion containing thirteen stars for
our original colonies. I believe this was created either afterthe Spanish
American War or during or after World War I. How many months or years
would it have taken this artist to create such an amazing piece of art?
Measuring 68" x 84", this woolen Army blanket begins the symbolism behind this
masterpiece. Was it her Son or Husband who was in a war protecting our
country? Did he die in a war or was he lucky enough to have survived? I
feel that honoring this person in such a way indicates a woman
grieving over a loss that is too great to bear, but with every stitch
coping may become more tolerable.
The three dimensional circle of 13 stars shows prominently at the top.
The gigantic Eagle has a 56" wingspread, a shield that measures 15" X
16". The cluster of arrows has 21" as the longest arrow.
All embroidery threads are woolen as is the blanket. A masterpiece in
original condition.
