Steps to the Lighthouse Quilt
Pattern: Steps to the Lighthouse
Date: c. 1880-1900
Provenance/Notes:
The most elegant color combination in this antique quilt! Lovely natural fading on the chestnut brown fabric and a duo of colors — chestnut and teal—that feels like a walk in the woods on a cool autumn day
A beautiful quilt pattern that read like a traditional Irish Chain quilt but notice the two sizes of squares at the places where the chains intersect; note the log piecing in the white spaces
Small squares measure just one inch square
Double border
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in very good condition with the aforementioned fading and just a light touch of discoloration to white fabric from handling over time; one tiny spot on teal square. See last photo for the worst of it (not all that noticeable in the scheme of the whole quilt).
Measurements: 68” 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.
