STUNNING circa 1900's Antique Crazy Quilt (Yale) BRILLIANT COLORS, VG condition - $600 - (Weidman, MI)
This circa 1900's handmade victorian era crazy quilt is really vibrant and is SO much more beautiful person. I attempted to capture the brilliance of the colors, but don't feel I did it justice. The turkey track feathered stitching is equally impressive. The quilt is owned by my friends 85 year old mother, who received it as a gift from her aunt. She wasn't told much about it's history, so she had it appraised a few years ago by a woman who for years has worked with WWCQG (Western Wayne County Quilters Guild) and many museums appraising quilts and lecturing on textiles ---and I've included a picture of the appraisal (personal information blocked out). The appraisal form which indicates the quilts value at $1500.00 will come along with the quilt to the winning bidder. The quilt measures 65" x 75" and is in very good condition. The materials are varied---cotton, wool, linen and velvet with a cotton knotted backing. The quilt is strong and sturdy overall and shows very little wear. There is a stitched in Yale school flag emblem and the style of the flag coincides with the timeframe noted on the appraisal. If you would like additional pictures or information, please feel free to ask.
