CONNC4 Overshot Patriotic Coverlet
c.1850
84 x 92 inches
Massachusetts
$1,600
Today Patriotism is so important and always has been, since before we
were able to win our freedom from England. This magnificent
complicated patterned coverlet is a wonderful example of how we
incorporated the love of our country into our treasured textiles. This
coverlet is filled with symbolism...We have our American symbol of
freedom -- the Eagle holding arrows -- all around the coverlet. Incorporated
into this coverlet we have Stags, we have doves for peace, sparrows, vines,
urns with flowers, leaves totally embellished circling the
entire perimiter. We have Pagodas symbolizing China, which we loved
and collected their pottery, dishes and decorative objects.
Woven on a huge loom, this one piece coverlet was woven from red woolen
yarn and natural color Linen fiber. Amazing weaving and indeed an
exquisite attention grabber.
There are a very, very few tiny moth holes which one has to search for.
Now organically hand washed and ready to be sent, with free shipping.
