F311 Wool Challis Broken Dishes Fragment
c.1865
36 x 60
Maine or Massachusetts
$800
This stunning quilt was hanging in my home and is now up for sale. The
advantage to this is that there are 4 sleeves already on the quilt..ready
to hang in either direction!
Wool Challis fabrics were and still are very costly. Sociologically
this tells us that the woman who created this piece of art was from an
affluent family. The colors are all vegetable dyes and just exquisite.
This is part of a larger quilt and has been rebound using the same date
fabric. The wholecloth backing is a miniature calico in dark gray, light
gray and red.
This sophisticated little quilt is ready to be sent for your approval.
