Vintage Handmade South American Quilted Applique Vest Animals, Reptiles, Spiders
This is a really unique handmade vest. My guess is that it’s from South or Central America. It came from the estate of a fabric and textile collector whose collection contained a lot of articles obtained while working with the Peace Corp in the 1960’s. This piece features extensive quilt work, with 5 large animal motifs on the back of a frog, spider, snake, etc. with extensive applique needle work. On the front are 2 cats and 2 dove birds with needle work adornment.
Measures approximately 20” across x 25” from neck to bottom. I would estimate it’s about a women’s medium or a men’s small. Would make a great ethnic/cultural wall hanging. In clean condition with no odor. There are some light discolored spots on the front. Also, one of the seams under the arm hole is beginning to come undone by about 1.5”.
