Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:57229 |
This is a very beautiful, antique coverlet, pillow (with another smaller pillow), and a dresser scarf --- I have no idea of the age, but my neighbor who deals in antiques told me it MAY be prior to the civil war..... . The pattern between the drop is about 38" which makes it more than likely for a 3/4 bed, but not sure. It has a lot of detail, including lace, tatting, and some very unusual ribbon and bows, along with a lot of embroidery, including a man and woman inside a c...ircle on the spread and the pillow, an embroidered basket of flowers, and other embroidered areas are present as well. It's incredible. Summer weight for sure.
The coverlet is 94" x 78" the pillow is 32" x 16", the smaller pillow is 10 1/2" x 6 1/2". The scarf if 43" x 18".
The material is a very thin cotton in what I would call an ice blue, embroidery is in numerous colors, the ribbon is quite interesting (see photos) and so are the attached bows. It is not without flaws. I can not see any holes or detached seams, but there are stains. One about the size of a quarter on the dresser scarf and another about the size of a dime on the spread. (see photos). There are other smaller stains on the drop and hem of the coverlet. It appears to have been stored for a while. I have not attempted to launder it. It has some writing on one of the hemmed sides, but I have no idea what it signifies because it has been folded and hemmed in the middle of the letters.
