Civil War Era Antique 4 Panel Eagle Applique Quilt w/Urn Borders

Item #A-2263 SOLD!!

Early Eagle quilts are almost impossible to find, so we were very happy to be able to purchase this fine example. From the 1850-1860's, it's HAND PIECED and HAND APPLIQUED using an overdyed green print for the eagles, a different overdyed green print for the flowers, stems and urns, a black & blue print on Turkey Red for the shields, arrows, tulips and pinwheels, chrome yellow for the floral tips, and bright white cotton for the background. The 4 eagles have 2 arrows in each claw and are clutching a vine in their beaks, and two borders have tulips in urns with Trapunto berries. The quilt measures 90" x 87", has a very thin cotton batting with seed fragments, a hand applied binding, and a bright white back. HAND QUILTED with diamond quilting on the eagles, angle quilting on the background, and running feathers and angle quilting on the borders @ 8 to 10 neat and tiny stitches per inch counting just one side. PROFESSIONALLY HAND LAUNDERED, we found some fabric deterioration where the black acidic dye ate away at the Turkey Red fabric causing tiny holes ("pops") and fabric loss, especially on the ends where it was tugged and tucked under chins, and a couple very tiny holes (1/4" or less) on the white background, but no stains or odors.
