Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:6280 |
BEAUTIFUL MULTI-COLORED HAND WOVEN JACQUARD BLANKET BY D. CROSELY IN 1859. THIS IS 80" WIDE BY 85" LONG. BY 1825 THE "JACQUARD" LOOM - NAMED AFTER THE FRENCHMAN WHO INVENTED IT, ALLOWED FOR INTRICATE, COMPLEX AND BEAUTIFUL DESIGNS TO BECOME PART OF THE WOVEN PIECE. A MASTERFUL ASPECT OF USING A JACQUARD LOOM WAS THE FACT THAT THE NAME OF THE OWNER AND DATE COULD BE WOVEN INTO THE COVERLET TO ESTABLISH THE ITEM AS A VALUABLE AND BELOVED KEEPSAKE FOR DECADES TO COME.
JACQUARD COVERLET...S WERE MUCH MORE COMMONPLACE THAN QUILTS IN THE EARLY TO MID 1800'S UP TO THE END OF THE CIVIL WAR IN 1865. THEY WERE OFTEN USED ON LONG STAGECOACH JOURNEYS AND ON HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGES. MY LIGHTING DID NOT CAPTURE ALL OF THE BEAUTY OF THIS WONDERFUL COVERLET. IT HAS WITHSTOOD THE TEST OF TIME, BEING 158 YEARS OLD. THERE ARE MINOR IMPERFECTIONS BUT NONE THAT COMPROMISES THE USE OR ADMIRATION OF THIS AMAZING ITEM. THESE CAN SELL FOR MANY THOUSANDS AND ARE HIGHLY COVETED.
JUST DRASTICALLY REDUCED!!!!!!!!!!!
