Vintage Uzbek Hand Stitched Silk Quilt in Red, Turquoise, Ivory, Black, Green
Located in Barrington, IL
Beautiful vintage hand-stitched “pieced” silk quilt from Uzbekistan in Central Asia from the mid 1900s. The silk fabric pieces are cut in geometric form and some of them have the design on them. The vibrant colors are red, green, yellow, blue, brown, and black. The quilt resembles the design of the American "Crazy Quilts". The silk quilt would be an ideal piece as a table cover or wall art. The quilt was hand stitched of individual silk pieces in each frame. It is truly a labor of love and dedication. The hand stitched quilts from the 19th and the early 20th centuries have become extremely collectable. One reason is the delicate nature of such items. Because it is so delicate, it would be a wonderful piece to use as a wall art tapestry.

Orange Peel Quilt
Located in Darnestown, MD
Several features make this quilt quite unusual. Most obvious is the Orange Peel pattern that is not often seen. It is set within concentric frames that are not one hundred percent consistent in terms of colors but they blend well together. Most unusual is the center applique. It is a takeoff of the overall Orange Peel pattern but with the addition of arms that look like a thistle. This appears to be an original design. The initials AES are elaborately embroidered on one of the triangle corners...

19th Century American Applique Quilt in Southern Tulip Pattern
Located in Barrington, IL
Step back in time with this breathtaking 19th-century American appliqué quilt, lovingly hand-stitched in the late 1800s in the southern United States. Featuring the timeless “Southern Tulip” pattern, this heirloom piece showcases vibrant maroon and orange tulip blossoms with graceful green stems and leaves, all set against a warm ivory background.
A striking diamond border in green and maroon elegantly frames a grid of cream squares, each adorned with its own tulip motif. Every element of this quilt was meticulously hand-pieced and stitched with extraordinary attention to detail, reflecting the dedication and artistry of its maker.
A true labor of love, this antique quilt is more than just a textile—it’s a piece of American history. Highly collectible and increasingly rare, its delicate beauty makes it ideal not only as a cherished keepsake but also as a stunning tapestry-style wall art piece.
Whether displayed or preserved, this quilt is a celebration of craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless Southern charm.
