Irish Chain Quilt with Glazed Chintz Border: Circa 1850
  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.

Swallow in the Window Quilt: Circa 1890   $625.   

Lovely country quilt of Swallow in the Window in excellent condition. The striped fabric (which is more denimy blue than the gray it appears on my monitor) nicely continues the solid red used throughout the quilt. Measures 70" x 78": circa 1890.
