One measures 68 x 82 with a central seam that doesn't match up the sides as well. The other measures 66 x 84 and also has a central seam that doesn't match well. |

Both have very strong color. |

This one is blue, mustard, rust, rose , and ecru. It is worn all over and frayed on the edges, but the center seam is matched. It has been signed in two corners. |

It measures 74 x 81. The central top is missing fabric and there are holes here and there. It is still one of my favorites because of the signatures. |

My new friend in Arkansas asked about the seams matching. I never noticed it until she pointed it out. More coverlets in the house. |
Wow, what a beautiful collection of antique coverlets! I see them every now and then, but have not purchased one. Thanks for sharing your lovely collection with us!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely! You have quite a few wonderful treasures as I peruse your blog. Visiting from Curtains in My Tree.
ReplyDeleteI love and collect old coverlets. I was inspired by your blog to research where one of my coverlets originated. It said Joseph Schnee, Freeburg, Penn on the coverlets. By checking the internet I was able to date it. Why didn't I think of this before. My friend Janice from Curtains in My Tree told me to check your blog about coverlets. I know you enjoy your coverlet collection as much as I enjoy mine.
