We are honored to be presenting an outstanding nearly Museum Quality antique quilt that we found at a local estate in Connecticut.
Antique Log Cabin quilt sewn in mid-1800’s with provenance on typed papers that were found pinned to the quilt and remain pinned to it. Former owner Kathryn Downer Mangam displayed it in Quilt Shows and described it as made by her great-grandmother Walker, foster mother of Kathryn’s grandfather Burke.
Measures 75″ x 74″, fabrics include richly colored wool plaids and cottons.
There are basically two square styles that are placed around the quilt in different directions, creating a striking and dramatic full pattern as seen in photos.
The condition is exceptional with only a few small holes and a few mild areas of discoloration on the red print backing. The binding trim is tight and very dramatic.
Overall this is nearly a Museum Quality piece that we are honored to present. Please see video to hear more details:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdRWrSzWk0Q
