A beautifully illustrated, oversized vintage hardcover edition of America’s Glorious Quilts, edited by Dennis Duke and Deborah Harding and published by Park Lane in 1987.
This richly illustrated volume celebrates the artistry, history, and cultural heritage of American quilting, featuring an extraordinary collection of traditional patchwork, appliqué, embroidered, and intricately stitched quilts. Its generously sized pages showcase striking full-color photography, highlighting the remarkable craftsmanship, distinctive patterns, and vibrant textiles that define American quilt-making traditions.
The original illustrated dust jacket is particularly captivating, featuring a colorful crazy-quilt patchwork design in rich shades of crimson, indigo blue, burgundy, rose, green, and gold. Beneath the jacket, the book features a classic red hardcover binding with gold lettering along the spine.
Both a fascinating reference for collectors and textile enthusiasts and a visually striking decorative volume, this substantial book makes a wonderful addition to a traditional library, country house, farmhouse, or thoughtfully curated coffee table collection.
