Direct from my own "keeper" collection to the internet comes this wonderful vintage pillow. Measuring nearly 22" by 17" including its border, this gem dates back to the 1930s or 40s.
The pillow is wonderfully hand quilted by someone who was obviously very skilled at the craft. The stitches are close together and the pattern is quite nice. Depicted on this piece are two figures wearing bonnets, hoop dresses, and holding umbrelleas. I am not sure if this was originally made as a pillow or if it was cut down from a larger quilt. Either way, it was obviously made this way many years ago.
The colors are gorgeous! The figures are wearing dresses that are flowered in hues of orange and green with a tree in between them and a delightful purple background. The border is a lush complimentary green!
In excellent condition, the quilt is not torn or dryrotted in the least. It is strong and in very nice condition, and though it has some slight and very subtle age spots on its top, they are so faint that they are nearly unnoticeable and do not detract from its charm. Sure to appeal to the pickiest collector. |
