1830's Wild Goose Chase Quilt

There are always a few quilts in every collection that are extra hard to let go of… this incredible 1830s Wild Goose Chase is one of those this month.
One of the oldest quilts we have had the privilege of having in our collection.

This quilt is a collectors dream. With an array of gorgeous fabrics we’ve never seen, and cotton seed filled batting, it’s in truly *amazing* condition for being just shy of 200 years old.
Unaltered save for the new binding being added later in its life to preserve it.

From a prominent Pennsylvania collection.

Almost perfect condition! Only one or two faint spots of discoloration on the front and a couple more smaller spots on the back.

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.
