| Baskets Quilt: Circa 1880 SOLD | |
Two features make this classic Baskets Quilt a bit out of the ordinary.
Usually, a Basket filled with triangles would be that way throughout. This example includes a solid band just above the base of triangles. In addition, the burnt orange color is most unusual. It is a bit more toned down than appears on my monitor. The zig zag border is actually made of the same triangles as used in the Baskets. Nicely quilted with several geometric patterns. Measures 72" long x 78" wide; circa 1880. Excell... Click for details

 | Baskets Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania $975. |
It is difficult to imagine a quilt that screams of its Lancaster County, Pennsylvania origin more than this Baskets example. The calico fabrics are typical of that area as is the pieced Bars backing. Fabrics are symmetrically placed indicating the care and precision taken by the maker in creating this striking quilt. It is in as pristine condition as the day it was made in the 1880's. Measures 80" x 84".

| | Irish Chain Quilt with Glazed Chintz Border: Circa 1850 $1400. |
This traditional Irish Chain quilt is more "dressy" than one often sees because of the elegant glazed chintz border. It measures a generous 82" x 96" as one would typically find in the mid 19th century when this was made. It is in unwashed condition. There is some light discoloration that would most likely be removed with a wash. The entire back is a glorious fabric shown in the last thumbnail. It would make an equally beautiful whole cloth quilt when used on the reverse.
