1840s Pennsylvania Jacquard Coverlet by Elizabeth Yohe in Red, Navy, Green

About the Item

An exceptional mid-19th century American coverlet handwoven in Pennsylvania during the 1840s, this richly detailed textile features a sophisticated four-color palette of navy blue, red, green, and pale yellow. The design consists of alternating rows of floral motifs in deep navy and red, accented by stylized green leaves on a soft yellow ground — a harmonious composition that reflects the refined aesthetic of early American weaving. Woven on a Jacquard loom, this coverlet is not only a testament to the artistry of the period but also a deeply personal artifact. The weaver’s name, Elizabeth Yohe, is skillfully incorporated into the fabric, a signature touch made possible by the Jacquard method. These coverlets were highly prized in their time for their beauty, warmth, and the bespoke quality that allowed for names to be woven into the corners. A remarkable piece of American textile heritage, ideal for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking an authentic historic accent for traditional or eclectic interiors.
