c1800 Chintz Quilt

Price: 1195

Sold by Bodenheimer-Mayer House

Early 19th century chintz quilt fitted to accommodate a four poster bed. This quilt measures approximately 102 1/2" x 93 5/8". The quilt is made from 7 1/2" squares of fabric and quilted at 5 - 6 stitches per inch. The quilt is in markedly good condition for its age. There are some stains on the back, some of which have bled through to the front but are easily overlooked due to the fabric pattern. The most significant of these can be seen in the photos. There is also a one 1 1/2" long area at the edge of one of the squares where it appears as if a seem may have let loose.
