EDITORS COMMENTS
This coverlet, hailing from Coverlet, Ohio, in the United States, dates back to the year 1846. The exact creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding to its allure and intrigue. The coverlet is a stunning example of 19th-century American art and craftsmanship, showcasing a rich, black background adorned with vibrant floral motifs in red and other colors. The coverlet is made of a wool and cotton plain weave double cloth, woven on a loom with a jacquard attachment. The intricate design features two loom widths joined, creating a breathtaking display of patterns and motifs. The main warp and ground weft are finished with a fringed border, adding an elegant touch to the piece. The coverlet was likely used as bedding in a bedroom, adding a touch of warmth and beauty to the bedchamber. The use of black as the dominant color, along with the patriotic red, reflects the cultural and artistic sensibilities of the time. The coverlet is a testament to the rich heritage of American textiles and the art of weaving, which was a significant industry in the United States during the 19th century. This coverlet is now part of the esteemed collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is preserved and showcased for the enjoyment and education of the public. The coverlet is an object of great importance in the realm of American art and textile history, and serves as a reminder of the beauty and craftsmanship that was once a thriving part of American life.
