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.

19th Century Hand-Woven Paisley Shawl
Located in Barrington, IL
An exquisite 19th-century hand-woven Paisley shawl from Northwest India, featuring an elegant color palette of brick red, ivory, black, and green. This historic textile showcases a finely detailed paisley border, with larger stylized boteh (paisley) motifs at each end. The central field is rendered in a contrasting solid black, creating a striking visual balance and framing the intricate design. Originating from Kashmir, these shawls—sometimes called “Paisley” or “Piano” shawls—became highly fashionable in Europe during the Victorian era, especially after Queen Victoria popularized them. The design and craftsmanship of these Indian shawls later inspired the iconic production of similar pieces in Paisley, Scotland, throughout the 19th century. This richly woven textile can be elegantly draped over a table or bed or displayed as a piece of wall art, making it an ideal statement in classic, bohemian, or globally inspired interiors. A rare and collectible piece of textile history that combines cultural heritage with timeless style.
