Julie Silber, one of today's most respected quilt authorities, and her partner, Jean Demeter, working together as The Quilt Complex, offer a wide range of antique and vintage quilts made between 1800 and 1950.
Our “Featured Quilt” is either a newly found treasure or one we have decided to release for sale from our private collection. Check back often for the most recent additions.


McPherson Collection
Sandra McPherson is a California poet, professor, and publisher who has become a connoisseur of American quilts, with a special affinity for the gutsy, unpretentious, and personal. Many of Sandra's quilts are now in museum collections. The Quilt Complex is very pleased to offer more superb examples from her quilt collection. 

“TQC” (The Quilt Complex) Quilts represent our current antique quilt inventory. The quilts come from a variety of sources including trade shows, private collections and “pickers” with whom we have established relations over many years.
