An American Civil War Era African American Southern Quilt From the Deep South
Located in Barrington, IL
This extraordinary hand-stitched quilt, dating to the American Civil War era (circa 1860–1870), originates from the deep South—likely Alabama or Georgia—and stands as a powerful example of African American folk artistry during one of the most pivotal periods in American history.
Crafted from wool and homespun blankets, the quilt features a striking design of diagonally pieced squares composed of repurposed clothing in shades of navy, brown, red, and gray. These textiles are believed to be remnants of garments worn during the Civil War, transformed through necessity and creativity into a work of enduring beauty and cultural significance. The back of the quilt is made from a bold red and gray striped textile, adding a distinctive visual contrast.
Quilts like this—made by African Americans in the Reconstruction-era South—are exceedingly rare and deeply meaningful. They embody both resilience and resourcefulness, and serve as powerful expressions of heritage, survival, and artistic identity.
This particular quilt comes from the collection of a Civil Rights attorney who has spent decades practicing in Alabama and Georgia, with a devoted interest in preserving African American folk art from the Civil War era. Its provenance adds another layer of depth and historical significance.
Highly collectible and increasingly sought after, 19th-century African American Southern quilts are not only valuable artifacts—they are irreplaceable cultural legacies.
Dimensions: 63” x 73”
Date of Manufacture: 3rd Quarter of the 1800s
Place of Origin: Alabama, United States

Vintage American Amish “Nine Patch” Hand-Stitched Patchwork Quilt
Located in Barrington, IL
This beautifully hand-crafted cotton quilt, created by the Amish community of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, dates to the mid-1900s and features the timeless “Nine Patch” pattern—an enduring symbol of simplicity, harmony, and tradition in American quiltmaking.
Composed of individually hand-cut and hand-stitched pieces in a rich palette of purples, blues, and earthy browns, the quilt exemplifies the quiet elegance of Amish design. The fine stitching throughout reflects a high level of skill and dedication, embodying the values of patience, precision, and practicality.
Like many quilts of its kind, this piece was made using repurposed materials—textiles originally intended for everyday use—transformed through craftsmanship into an object of lasting beauty. It stands as a poignant example of upcycling long before the term existed, turning necessity into art and function into heritage.
While photographs may not fully capture the depth and nuance of its colors, a video is provided for a more accurate representation.
This quilt offers not only warmth and comfort but also a tangible connection to a unique cultural legacy—ideal for collectors, historians, or those with an eye for the understated artistry of American folk tradition.
