1830s Chintz Eight Pointed Star Quilt
Where to even begin in regards to the magnificence of this quilt?
One of the earlier quilts we’ve had in the most stunning and remarkable condition.
To see chintz fabric this early and in tact is a rarity and something very special to be sure, but the tiny indigo star dotted cotton that makes up the binding is also very special. Beautiful quilting at 7-8 stitches to the inch.
The back is entirely homespun linen which is amazing.
When we say that this is a rare collectors piece it feels like an understatement, this one belongs in a museum.
D E T A I L S
How it’s made: Hand quilted, hand pieced
Weight: Medium, cotton batting
Measurements laid flat: 92” x 90”
If you’d like to hang your quilt, we recommend our locally made Folkling Quilt Clips!

Absolutely stunning condition for its age. The only notable flaw is that some of the chintz stars have breakage due to their age, and are exposing some batting. Otherwise truly remarkable and a real museum worthy piece.
Most importantly: Please do not cut this quilt for a coat or other project. It is too beautiful and in gorgeous condition and a work of art in and of itself. It would be tragic to cut up such a beautiful piece of textile history.
⋒ This is an antique piece, all photos have been taken in natural light and with limited editing to reflect its condition. Please keep in mind all antique pieces have little imperfections and reflect the story and charm of the piece.
⋒ This find will ship to you within one week of purchasing. International and combined shipping is available, please contact us via instagram DM at @Folkling for a personalized shipping quote.
