How Much is a Amish Bars Quilt?
Finding the Right Quilts for You
Antique, new and vintage quilts can add a welcome decorative dynamic to your space, whether they’re positioned as wall art in your bedroom (just as you might hang a tapestry) or draped over your side tables or the seating in your living room.
Quilts are a quintessential part of American folk art but their roots are international, with quilting dating back to Ancient Egypt. The practice spread to Europe and was especially prominent in the Middle Ages, with one of the oldest surviving examples being the Tristan quilt made in Sicily in the 14th century. They were made as bedcovers and clothing, including as a layer for knights to wear beneath their armor.
For early American colonists, quilts were a crucial source of warmth and comfort. In the 19th century, quilting was a popular activity for women to socialize and commemorate important events, such as weddings or the birth of a child. Distinctive regional variations developed, from the vibrant quilts made in the African-American community of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, to Baltimore album quilts with beautifully appliquéd blocks.
If you’re looking to introduce an eye-catching flourish to a bedroom or living room, quilts provide a pop of color and texture to corners that might otherwise be difficult to decorate.
Find a wide range of vintage quilts made from materials like cotton, wool and silk on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024Amish quilts are so expensive for a few reasons. They require many hours of labor to handmake and each Amish quilt is unique. In addition, demand for Amish quilts tends to be high compared to the available supply, increasing their value. Explore a collection of Amish quilts on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To tell if a quilt is Amish, start by examining the materials. Typically, the majority of an Amish quilt will be bright, solid colors, with black material reserved only for the border. Next, grab a magnifying glass. Most Amish quilts will have 6 to 10 stitches per square inch, and because the quilts are stitched by hand, you may notice slight variations in the size of individual stitches. Becoming familiar with traditional Amish quilt patterns, such as Diamond in Square, Lone Star and Sunshine-and-Shady, can also help you identify potential Amish quilts. If you're still unsure about the maker of your piece, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can be of assistance. Explore a large selection of Amish quilts on 1stDibs.
