Incredible 1940s-1950s work of textile art deserving of a prominent wall in your home.
A very graphic quilt similar to Gee's Bend style House Top quilts.
This quilt has two alternating fabrics, of a black solid twill wool and a beige damask jacquard fabric with possibly silk content. The quilt starts in the center with a beige square framed by a black square framed by another beige square, so on and so on. It is machine pieced and hand quilted in a Baptist fan motif. There is thick cotton batting and a woven stripe flannel reverse. The edge is finished with the back brought to the front and applied by hand.
This quilt was from a collector in northern Kentucky.

Overall discoloration across lighter areas. Areas of fabric lose across the lighter pieces exposing the batting.
