1890s Sister Quilts

$3,000.00

This listing is for two incredibly unique and rare quilts that were made by the same maker.
Having stayed together for over 100 years— we found we couldn’t be the ones to separate them, so we are listing them together in hopes another collector will appreciate and love them for their next 100 years.


Circa 1890s-1900s, these Circle In A Square and Snowball quilts are truly unlike any we have come across before.

They are highly unusual and rare in their pattern and color and true collectors pieces.
The circles in the center of this first quilt are such a deep indigo they present as almost black.
A very gorgeous and unique detail.

Both are resplendent in beautiful and intricate hand quilting and covered in original makers marks. Which lends us to believe these were likely never used.
They are both quite pristine.

Truly museum worthy pieces and ones we will have a hard time letting go of!

Sold together as a pair

Both have original makers marks throughout and only some minor marks from storage. Consult photos.
Both present beautifully and quite close to perfect, especially for their age.
