DESCRIPTION
A True Museum Quality American
Coverlet!
In wonderful condition with rich
vivid red wool and natural cotton.
This was woven in 1876 for the Philadelphia
Centennial
Exposition . It is a Real Beauty! All to often these
antique coverlets show colors that are washed out and fibers that are worn
from years of continual use. This one is in unblemished condition,
near perfect, a seamless full loom width true Museum Quality Antique
Coverlet.
It has a hand turned hem at the
top and self fringe along both sides, hand attached fringe across the bottom.
In excellent condition with a good hand to the fibers, still strong and sturdy with absolutely no bunching, lies flat it has not been washed. A real beauty, a true Museum Quality antique coverlet with only a tiny bit of fringe loss, no moth damage, no holes, no thin spots, no odors, no
wear, no stains or discolorations. Impeccable! These CENTENNIAL coverlets are usually described as 'unknown maker' but we think they were produced by Henry Gabriel at his Allentown Pa. Woolen Mill. Size: 76" x
76"
