Pattern: Pinwheel Bar
Date: c. 1880-1890
Provenance/Notes:
A soft, romantic quilt in the prettiest assortment of 19th century fabrics in warm range of soft browns accentuated with white and pink. Take a look at some of the closeups to enjoy the variety of fabrics!
Double rod quilting around the wide border and diagonal quilting through the center of the quilt
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in very good condition with just a few minor bumps and bruises from her age. A couple tiny surface holes and very light residual stains; the back has some light residual staining and one small surface hole along the edge. (See last two images.)
Measurements: 69" x 82"
$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 Tahirih Justice Center -- a national organization based in Falls Church, Virginia, that aims to protect immigrant women and girls fleeing gender-based violence and persecution. For more about their important work, see www.tahirih.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.
