Cockscomb and Currant Appliqué Quilt
Pattern: Cockscomb and Currant Appliqué
Date: c. 1860
Provenance/Notes:
A stunning mid 1800s appliqué quilt with nine blocks made in a Cockscomb and Currant pattern with a beautiful vine of flowers around the border
Notice the way that the vibrant cheddar and turkey red (both colorfast fabrics) pop against the overdyed green that has faded over time. Look closely and you can still see the print original to the fabric.
Expertly quilted with feathered quilting patterns in between each of the blocks
From the home of a Maryland collector; maker/origin unknown
In excellent condition with one tiny stitched repair, one little dot, and one very little shadow of an old stain — nothing noticeable.
Washed by hand
Measurements: 86” x 87”
$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.
