Late 19th Century American Crazy Quilt, Hand-Stitched Wool & Cotton
Located in Barrington, IL
A beautiful example of American textile folk art, this late 19th-century Society Crazy Quilt is hand-pieced, hand-stitched, and richly embroidered. Constructed in a 7x7 block structure, each 11" x 11" square was created by a different individual—likely members of a sewing society or women’s group—making this quilt not only a masterwork of craftsmanship but a collaborative historical artifact. The vibrant color palette includes striking combinations of turquoise, pink, yellow, navy, and green, giving the quilt dynamic visual appeal. Elaborate herringbone embroidery connects each block, showcasing both unity and individuality in the design. Backed with cotton and discovered in New England, this piece was possibly crafted in Pennsylvania in the early 20th century. Dimensions: 77” x 77” Date of Manufacture: 4th Quarter of the 1800s Place of Origin: United States Material: Wool, Cotton Condition: Areas of wear, spots The Persian Knot Gallery, SKU: 2136 19th century crazy quilt, Society quilt, American folk art textile, antique embroidered quilt, turquoise crazy quilt, hand-stitched crazy quilt, vintage patchwork quilt, herringbone embroidery quilt, Pennsylvania textile art, late 1800s quilt, collaborative American quilt, heirloom crazy quilt, antique quilt wall art, colorful crazy quilt, vintage decorative throw, early 20th century quilt, American Crazy Quilts, Vintage Crazy Quilts...
