Variable Stars in a Garden Maze Quilt
Pattern: Variable Star in Garden Maze
Date: c. 1880-1900
Provenance/Notes:
A wonderful old quilt in a classic pattern set in an expertly appliquéd Garden Maze
Take a look at some of the closer photos to see the fine stitching on the appliqué as well as the beautiful fabrics in the stars
She once hung on a wall (she has a soft pole sleeve along one edge — easily removed if desired) and has developed a lovely patina and fading from her years
A little numbered label along one side shows that she was once documented as part of a project or gallery
This is a beautiful quilt to lend a lovely soft antique accent to your space
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in very good strong condition but has some light residual discoloration in places, a few small light spots and one star with just a touch of wear to one brown fabric. Significant fading, as mentioned, throughout.
Measurements: 72” x 78”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. Price for smaller items have been adjusted (lowered) to account for the lower shipping cost.
International customers: If you enter a shipping address outside of the US, you will not be charged for shipping upon checkout. A separate invoice will be sent once shipping is calculated. If you need a shipping estimate, please reach out ahead of time. Tax will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this next collection will go towards The Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF+) to aid their efforts in providing relief to craft artists from the damaging effects of Hurricane Helene. For more about their work, please see www.cerfplus.org
Note on antique/vintage quilts: Many of the quilts we sell have been loved, slept under, washed, sunshine dried, taken on picnics, slept on underneath the stars, and lived lifetimes before arriving at our doorstep. You can expect to see repairs made by later generations, fraying around the edges or in certain blocks, discoloration or yellowing, cotton/wool batting—or as we like to call them, tiny sheep—peeking through. They are imperfect, but their imperfections are charming to us and we hope you feel the same. They are reminders to us of their old age and the history to which they've been a witness. We try our best to note any imperfections, but it’s possible we might miss one here and there. Well-crafted, handmade antique quilts in their original form are becoming scarcer, and we believe it's vital that we preserve them and continue to love them, imperfections and all.
Because these quilts are one-of-a-kind and we are a tiny enterprise, we do not accept returns; please review all photos and the description carefully and ask any questions you may have prior to purchasing.
