Woven in classic blue and white on a Jacquard loom, it features an elegant floral medallion pattern accented by a richly detailed border of trees and birds.
A distinctive feature is the corner block design, showcasing a proud eagle with stars—a patriotic motif symbolic of the era. During the early to mid-1800s, these coverlets became highly sought after, not only for their beauty but also for their personal touch—the weaver often included the client’s name woven into the lower corner.
A timeless piece of American folk art, this antique coverlet is perfect for collectors, historians, or those seeking an authentic 19th-century textile with rich visual and historical appeal.
