CON SC 3 Victorian Crazy Quilt Dated 1885 & 1886 48 x 49 Boston, MA SOLD This incredible Victorian Crazy Quilt, dated 1885 and 1886, is an antique treasure in fabulous condition. It contains amazing embellishments that go above and beyond even Betsey’s requirements for ‘over-the-top’ embellishment on a Victorian Crazy Quilt for sale in her gallery. Comprised of silks and silk velvets and heavily embellished with embroidery this quilt also has several original oil paintings of birds and flowers. Unique features include a Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) ribbon, an oriental cat playing a broom guitar, and signed blocks “Boston, MA”, “Baltimore” and “Washington”. There are also initials, names, feathers and fans. This inventive Victorian quilter then took it a step further with her unique artistic touches of buttons, lace trim, and hanging beads, feathers and ribbons! The backing is a cotton floral from the same era. The 3/8 inch binding is a black silk taffeta. This amazing textile is a stunning piece of original artwork ready to grace any wall in your home as it has two hand applied sleeves on the back for hanging. One of Betsey’s favorite examples of a Victorian Crazy Quilt created during its heyday, it is off the scale when rated for beauty, originality and artistry. |

Q8582 Rose Wreath c.1850 94 x 96 Lancaster County, Pennsylvania SOLD This amazing antique quilt with incredible visual impact refuses to sit quietly in the corner! Enliven your collection or any room in your home with this beautiful rose wreath hand appliqued quilt in Turkey red, green and cheddar solids on an off-white linen ground. Nine wreaths, each over 21 inches wide and containing no less than 16 buds and flowers, stand court while an undulating vine with Turkey red grape clusters flow around them. Single appliqued flowers in the areas between and inside the wreaths visually connect them and add to the impact. The body of this piece is hand quilted with a lemon peel stitch, each appliqué is outline stitched with diagonal lines used in the border set ½ inch apart. In “unused” condition, this amazing and completely hand made antique quilt is backed with the same linen used for the front with a hand applied 3/8 inch Turkey red binding. A great find and a standout in any antique quilt collection, this work of art has been professionally hand washed by Betsey. |

Q6805 Broderie Perse Fragment c.1800 33 x 35 New England $2,200 What an opportunity to acquire a very early quilt fragment in excellent condition! From an actual Broderie Perse quilt created around 1780-1800, this piece contains a large center block of an early block print taupe floral glazed chintz set on point. This block is surrounded by chintz birds and butterflies meticulously cut out and appliqued onto off-white homespun linen. The hand appliqué stitching is phenomenally dense, and the entire piece has been hand quilted in chevrons set 1 inch apart. The same chintz used in the center block was used for the ¼ inch separately applied binding, and the backing is the same off-white homespun linen as was used on the front. The size of this fragment was as Betsey found it, and she believes this piece was originally the center medallion of a large Broderie Perse or early pieced quilt. What a find in a perfect size for wall art in a small space! Professionally hand washed by Betsey, please ask her for more details. |
