Extra Large Antique/Vintage Overshot Red & Tea - Stain Woven Coverlet
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:175758 |
Beautiful, rare extra large overshot, three panel woven coverlet, reversible as seen in photos. The colors are a deep red and a tea-stain ecru shade. I believe the pattern is also rare and is called "Cat's Paw, Snail Trail." This was purchased many years ago at an antique store in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. PLEASE NOTE THAT IN SOME OF THE PHOTOS THE COVERLET APPEARS LIGHTER IN COLOR - THE TRUER COLOR IS SEEN IN THE FIRST FEW PHOTOS ON THE LISTING.
...ADDED IMPORTANT NOTE: WHEN I WAS FOLDING THE COVERLET IN FRONT OF A WINDOW WITH LIGHT STREAMING THROUGH I DISCOVERED A FEW MORE "NICKS" IN ONE LONG EDGE, SIMILAR TO THE SMALL EDGE NICK SEEN IN ONE OF THE PICTURES. I ALSO NOTED ANOTHER VERY SMALL HOLE, SMALLER THAN HALF A DIME, THAT COULD BE EASILY REPAIRED (OR NOT) WITH NEEDLE AND THREAD. ALSO, IN HOLDING IT UP TO THE WINDOW SOME THIN SPOTS ARE EVIDENT THAT ARE NOT VISIBLE WHEN THE COVERLET IS LAID FLAT. FOR IT'S RARITY OF PATTERN, AGE, SIZE AND BEAUTY, THIS IS A WELL-LOVED VINTAGE PIECE THAT I AM SELLING AS IS.
