…. A truly one-of-a-kind handcrafted quilt with irresistible bohemian spirit — discovered at the legendary Marché aux Puces de Saint-Ouen (Clignancourt) flea market in Paris, where the world's most extraordinary textiles find their second life.
A Parisian Treasure
Sourced from the famous Clignancourt market on the outskirts of Paris — the world's largest antique flea market — this quilt was crafted from exquisite Japanese cotton prints and assembled by a skilled artisan into a show-stopping, hippie-chic statement piece. The fabrics, with their delicate floral and botanical motifs in a warm earthy palette of chocolate brown, sage green, dusty rose, ivory, and warm tan, speak to the refined aesthetic of Japanese textile design married with a free-spirited quilting sensibility.
Design & Craftsmanship
This quilt is composed entirely of circular medallion blocks in three sizes, creating a playful, organic rhythm across the surface:
10 large 10" blocks featuring a white vine and botanical embroidery-style pattern on rich chocolate brown
32 medium 8" blocks in coordinating green and pink floral prints
20 smaller 6" accent blocks in a variety of complementary mixed-pattern fabrics
The circles are set against a warm caramel/khaki background, and the entire quilt is finished with a delicate white ruffled ribbon edging that adds a romantic, feminine touch. The reverse is a solid warm tan cotton, hand-quilted in brown thread with a circle echo pattern that beautifully mirrors the patchwork design on the face — a thoughtful, artistic detail rarely seen.
