Colorful Silk Diamonds & Squares Antique Quilt

Item #4-2258    $499

We can't help but wonder what this 1860 to 1880's Diamond & Square quilt looked like when it was brand new, since it's still Ultra Graphic!  HAND PIECED, each of the 255 five inch square blocks is made from scrap bag pieces of silk ~ a square in the center of a diamond in the center of a square ~ and is surrounded by decorative embroidery work in silk thread.  A lot of work went into this quilt!  It measures 85" x 74", has no batting, a hand applied binding (some splits), and a MARVELOUS glazed cotton (Chintz) back in chestnut brown.  The back is held to the front by the decorative stitching on the binding.  In "as found" condition, we found silk damage (mostly on the fold lines ~ normal for a silk quilt of this age), and an "old" smell from being stored for so many years.  Definitely a "Show" piece, it would make a FABULOUS wall hanging!
