Old Italian Block Quilt
Pattern: Old Italian Block
Date: c. 1880
Provenance/Notes:
Wonderful jewel tones color the blocks of this beautiful quilt that was made with a gorgeous scrappy variety of 19th century fabrics against a rusty red background.
Notice the pops of purple calico and the mints, browns, and pinks mingled in
One of the lovely aspects of this quilt is that it has undergone repairs both previously and recently where several of the radiating patches in the blocks have been replaced as they have worn away. The fabrics were carefully chosen, and they blend beautifully into the original piece.
The back is a lovely muted brown
This quilt is thin and has a great drape
Maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and an excellent condition with just tiny bit of wear to one piece as shown in the last photo
Measurements: 72” x 80”
$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.
