Duck and Ducklings Quilt
It’s hard to say what is more delightful about this quilt – her exquisite fabrics, her elaborate quilting, or her charming pattern with sawtooth border! This is one of three pieces in this collection that comes from the Packwood House Museum in Pennsylvania. The museum studied each of the quilts in their care and some detailed notes are available on this quilt. This quilt was made circa 1905 and passed down within the Cook family — a prominent family from Union County, PA. The family owned a dry goods and general store that was apparently known for their wonderful selection of fabrics, which explains the exquisite selections in this quilt. The variety of blue fabrics are especially lovely and so elegant set against the muted green calico that has faded to a lovely olive. The tiny white details in the olive twinkle like stars. She would blend beautifully into an any environment with her soft, neutral palette. She is in excellent condition for her age with just a few spots where a couple stitches have come loose and a couple very light stains. See the last photo. She has been washed by hand and will come with copies of paperwork kept by the museum.
Measurements: 62” x 65”
$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 Tahiri Justice Center, a national non-profit that has served over 30,000 immigrant survivors fleeing gender-based violence since 1997. Read more about their important work at tahiri.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.
