19th Century Blue and White American Jacquard Coverlet with Eagle and Stars
Located in Barrington, IL
A striking example of American textile artistry, this mid-19th century blue and white Jacquard coverlet is dated 1847 and showcases rich patriotic and natural symbolism. The central field features repeating floral medallions, while the border is adorned with stylized trees and birds — a motif popular in folk art textile traditions. The corner block displays a bold American eagle flanked by stars, underscoring the patriotic spirit of the era.
Woven entirely by hand using a Jacquard loom, this coverlet not only exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship but also the uniquely personal tradition of the time, where the names of recipients or makers were often woven into the lower corners of the textile. While this particular piece does not bear a legible name, it's clear date and iconic design elements speak to its authenticity and heritage.
A museum-quality piece, ideal for collectors of American folk art, decorators working with historic interiors, or anyone seeking a meaningful textile accent with both visual and historic impact.
