Knox County Coverlet Dated 1860
Made by Michael Ardner

Item #C-107    $349

We like to use these early hand woven coverlets as a nice decorating alternative to a quilt.  These coverlets are getting more difficult to find and are quite collectible.  This coverlet has corner blocks that read "Woven in Maunt (misspelled - should be Mount)Vernon, Knox County, Ohio by Michael Ardner 1860", a local weaver in the Knox County, Ohio area that made custom hand woven coverlets for the wealthy.  This coverlet has age appropriate wear as seen in the photos and has been cut down on the ends with the corner blocks and reinforced.  The color is a wonderful indigo blue and white, and the other side is the reverse (a Summer/Winter coverlet).  The size is a generous 82 inches by 69 inches, excluding the fringe.  This coverlet is clean and ready to use right out of the box.  Professionally hand laundered by Steve at Americas Antiques.  Check our store for hundreds of other hand laundered quilts and coverlets.




Patriotic Red, White & Blue Coverlet

Item #C-109

The weaver of this 1880's coverlet probably left the 2 panels separate, but someone later machine stitched the panels together upside down!  An easily corrected mistake to restore this red, white & blue wool coverlet to it's original beauty.  The coverlet is reversible and should have pine trees on 3 edges (the 4th edge goes under the pillows).  It measures 84" x 70".  We found some mothing damage as shown and a 1" hole on one corner, but no rips, tears, stains or odors.  You can fix this coverlet or use "as is" for a conversation piece!
