1880s Rob Peter To Pay Paul Quilt
A beautiful 1860s-1880s quilt in the ever satisfying Robbing Peter to Pay Paul quilt with a striking diamond border! Seemingly, this quilt was unused and simply stored away for decades. Once a purple calico print, exhibiting some fugitive coloring. Now faded to more brown tones. The binding is the same print but is a stronger color. Wonderful thin batting. Original owner found in Ohio years ago.
It comes with provenance— There is a note attached "James Ingram Woods." We don't know if it was made for him / owned by him, etc. But certainly it is a clue to be researched.
D E T A I L S
How it’s made: Hand quilted and hand pieced
Weight: Medium
Measurements laid flat: 85” x 88”
Shown on a standard Full size bed.
If you’d like to hang your quilt, we recommend our locally made Folkling Quilt Clips!
C O N D I T I O N
Overall slight discoloration from storage. It has a spot, likely the quilter pricked her finger during quilting!
A few areas where the purple binding has bled onto other pieces ever so slightly. Overall very sturdy and beautiful.
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.
