Story of American Furniture

Collecting Antiques in America

Author of

American Furniture Makers

*Reg. U. S. Pat. Off. TWO OF THE OLDEST FORMS ofneedlework, quilting and patchworkare represented in the colorful bedcoverings known as quilts. In Europeand England they were known as

early as the 16th Century. Whetherthe Pilgrims brought any over in

their chests or boxes is anybody'sguess but quilts were probably partof the effectsof the American house-hold almost from the beginning. No

examples have survived of course

and even thosemade in the 18thCentury are rare.But if one couldbe found, madefor instance, byPriscilla Alden,itwould show thesame technique as

those turned outso plentifully byour great-grand-mothers in the19th Century.Whatever the

type or design,three parts werenecessary: top,

lining and inter-

lining, all made

one by finely setstitches in a defi-nite pattern. Therewere three ways

to make the top.It could\consist ofa plain piece ofcloth with deco-

. ration achievedsolely by quilting;a plain piece ofcloth overlaid witha design of patch-work or applique; Tor

blocks of varied size, color and shape.Whole books have been written on

"the varied designs of both the piecedand patchwork types. The pieced topsare the least desirable of the three,but they occur in most interestingpatterns, such as star, sunburst, and

geometric. Absolute poverty of de-sign of course is to be found in the

I “crazy quilt” which is pieced from‘ all sorts and shapes of cloth frag-

* ments scrambled tc ‘her in a dizzywhole. ®

The patchwork top gave its maker

a real chance for artistic expressionsince it lent itself to a variety ofdesigns, many of them resemblingcrewel work with cloth instead of

. thread used as a medium. Against awhite background a decorative motif,

; usually of calico if made between

. 1700 and 1870, was appliqued to formeither a floral or geometric pattern.The quilt shown here is a combina-

. readers may have.

C

PATCHWORK QUILT OF STAR DESIGNHere against a white background are twelve large andty-eight small stars made of green, yellow and pink

or a top made of cotton print. The conventionalized floral border is done incloth fragments green with red flowers. Thispieced togetherin 1860, is eight feet long and six feet wide.

Early American Quiltstion of both and the floral borderdistinctly resembles the crewel workseen in early bed hangings.

Very fortunate is the owner of that

great rarity, the all-white quilt wherethe only decoration is the quilting.Here every inch of the material was

covered with quilting, done in amost intricate pattern and frequently

the main motif was brought into re-lief by padding the most prominent

features. Such quilts were made in

uilt, probably made before

the leisurely days of the late 18thand early 19th.Centuries. Much latera machine-made imitation of themappeared. It was known as a Mar-seilles bedspread and was popularduring the 1890s and even into the20th Century.Froma decorative point of view,

the height of quilt making wasreached during the first half of the19th Century and many fine exam-ples of those years have survived ingood condition. As with other formsof folk art, they reflected the politi-cal, economic and social affairs oftheir time and were named accord-ingly. Such names as Whig Rose,Wagon Tracks, Dolly Madison's Star,Road to California, Texas Star recallevents and conditions in Americanhistory. Also in the final process oftheir making they were a fine excusefor that old time social event, thequilting bee. ®
