Rare 1840s Early American Antique Jacquard Coverlet 56 x 78 Indigo blue & white

Description: Rare 1840s Early American Antique Jacquard Coverlet 56 x 78 Indigo blue & white A striking hand loomed Jacquard coverlet measuring 78 x 56 inches; a one-of-a-kind Early American pre-Civil War textile. With some edge fraying and with two discreet old and small sympathetic patches on verso, there is strong color from the indigo blue and bright whites with the overall appearance showing a strong geometric design and technical skill by the weaver. The coverlet does not appear to be signed or dated Likely created by an itinerate weaver The coverlet features a stunning colonial geometric pattern and is made of a soft blend of cotton (ivory) and wool (navy blue indigo dyed). This reversible one-of-a-kind coverlet is perfect for collectors of early American textiles and/or for those looking to add authenticity and antique warmth and elegance to their home. Purchased by the estate several decades ago at an amount many times our buy it now price. Please note - this coverlet is not in perfect condition. Jacquard looms were only so wide and therefore this coverlet is two loomed coverlets sewn together down the vertical center. There are a few sewn repairs along this seam. Furthermore the two small patches which are each about 3 in. square or so are only on the reverse and blend in with the colors of the coverlet and appear quite old. Finally there is some fraying and loss to the indigo wool along some edges and in a spot near the center of the coverlet as well - they must be looked for and are not readily apparent. This is a 180 year old antique American textile- therefore a rare survivor - still useful, still beautiful but far from perfect - please keep that in mind before bidding. Thanks.
