Antique American Reversible Jacquard Loomed Woolen Coverlet 200x168cm
Description
A classic mid-to-late 19th-century American Jacquard coverlet, featuring a striking geometric grid pattern with starburst and "pine tree" border motifs. This piece is reversible, showcasing a deep navy indigo base on one side and a creamy ivory base on the other, accented by subtle madder-red highlights. Woven in two panels and joined at the center (typical of the period), this is a quintessential piece of early American textile history.
