ROSE OF THE WILDERNESS
(Variant)
Unknown Quilt Maker
Pennsylvania
78 x 78 inches
Circa 1890
Cottons
MINT CONDITION
A folky applique in Mint Condition collected and said to have been made in Pennsylvania.
It's getting pretty rare to find quilts more than 100 years old in such great condition. This one is unwashed and appears unused.
Wonderful, vivid colors ~ the red, deep teal, and cheddar (a color formerly known as orange) maintain their original vibrancy.
The closest design we could find in the reference books is called "Rose of the Wilderness" (Brackman, Encyclopedia of Applique, 18.13).
All cottons, hand quilted and with a separately applied border.
Clear, and boldly graphic, this has Americana written all over it!
Price: $895
