Vivian's Dresden Plate Quilt with Ice Cream Cone Border
A stunning iteration of the Dresden Plate pattern, this floral beauty was lovingly made in 1936 for Vivian Margaret Preloran by her aunt (see penned inscription on back corner). The Dresden Plates were made on a larger scale and are close together, saturating the quilt with the beauty of all the feedsack fabrics. And add to that an ice cream cone border that parades all the beautiful prints! The quilting is phenomenally done throughout — dense and textural. This is a work of art and love. This quilt has been washed by hand, and is in great condition, with just a few little marks that show the passage of time, and some very light staining on back (see photos). A treasure to bring into your home.
Measurements: 72” x 73.5”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. If you need shipping outside the 48 contiguous states (Alaska, Hawaii, worldwide), please choose Local Pickup at checkout and reach out for a separate shipping invoice. Sales tax will be added to any Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
All quilts come with a muslin tag noting any known history, and an archival Micron pen for you to add yours.
15% of profits from this sale will go towards The Family Place in Texas, a non-profit that empowers survivors of family violence by providing safe housing, counseling, and skills that create independence while building community engagement and advocating for social change to stop family violence. For more about their work, please see www.famlyplace.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.
