This stunning and very sophisticated small quilt is actually part of a larger quilt that is bound with original same date fabric. I love this piece so much that it was hanging in our home for many years. As a result there are four sleeves so you can properly hang this quilt in either direction.
The fabrics tell us that the creator of this quilt was a member of an affluent family as the fabrics used are the finest of quality. Wool Challis is a combination of silk and wool fibers which create one of the finest fabrics known to mankind. The color scheme is rich and sophisticated, yet warm and comfortable feeling.
I am happy to send this wonderful piece to you for an at home approval, as always free shipping
