Hello and Welcome to The Textile Trunk! ~ Please follow us on Instagram we are @textiletrunk

An astonishing find ~ this textile is American and dates from the late 1700's or very early 1800's ~
This coverlet is made using both natural off-white cotton and indigo resist ( or perhaps discharge dyed) indigo blue fabric. Lovely design!~
The sides are fringed ( please see photographs) which is about 2 inches long on the sides ~ This textile is backed in natural linen, hand woven with many fabulous mends and patches ~ I've chosen to leave this textile in original, as found condition and not wash it, however hand washing and spot treating the marks would do wonders for this textile ~

MEASUREMENTS : This lovely textile measures approx. 96 inches by 80 inches ~

CONDITION : This quilt is in as found, not freshly laundered condition.There are some age marks, some pale water marks, some black marks ( I am nearly certain they won't budge) there are some holes on each side if this textile also ( small, but there! ) ~ this wonderful and very rare textile has signs of time and use that are commensurate for its age. A fabulous find!!~
