Handmade by my ancestors in the American Midwest, this is the finest example of Hand-Tufted Candlewick Whitework I have ever encountered.

The Perfection Piece: The texture is indescribably beautiful—the quilting is light, airy, and features a soft, superior drape that feels cool and luxurious to the touch. The craftsmanship reflects an era of textile art where pride was poured into every thread. If you seek a piece of American history that transcends simple bedding to become a work of art, this is it.

Key Features & Condition:

Hand-Tufted Construction: The intricate, rhythmic pattern and texture are created entirely by hand, confirming its historical and artistic value.

Material: 100% Cotton, preserving its original bright white color (Whitework).

Size (Massive): 100 inches (L) x 80 inches (W). A generous size that drapes beautifully over a Queen or modern Full bed.

Details: Features a beautiful, dense hand-knotted fringe along the edges (visible in photos).

Condition: Excellent, well-preserved antique condition commensurate with age. No major holes or stains; textile is structurally sound. Any minor signs of age simply confirm its authenticity and history.

This is an heirloom that will only be passed on to a buyer who truly appreciates its beauty and history.
