Lone Star Quilt with Broderie Perse

About the Item

Glorious is the best way to describe this lone star quilt with chintz border and applique (broderie perse). The colors are as vibrant as the day it was made in the 1830s. It is finely stipple quilted with diagonal lines. The quilt is in excellent, unwashed condition. The chintz retains its original glaze. There were a very few nicks in the chintz border. Rather than risk any additional, I had very fine netting sewn over the border to stabilize it. It is evident to the touch but not to the eye.
