Civil War Era Stars Antique Quilt 1868 Hand Made Cotton~Provenance - $900 - (Victorville, CA)
1868 ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR ERA QUILT. QUILT WAS MADE SOMETIME IN 1868 BY 17 YEAR OLD TALITHIA J. MORRISON ADKINS WHO WAS BORN IN 1851 IN WAYNE COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. ALSO, PROVIDED US SENSIS FOR PROVENANCE. QUILT IS VERY STRONG FOR 151 YEAR OLD QUILT. I DON'T THINK THE QUILT WAS EVER USED FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN DISPLAY. DAMAGE TO THE QUILT SEEMS TO BE FROM BEING STORED IMPROPERLY. THE COLORS ARE BRIGHT AND VIVID...I FOUND 2 HOLES ON THE FRONT (SHOWN IN PHOTO) THEY DO NOT GO THROUGH TO THE BACK AND ALSO 1 SMALL HOLE ON THE BACK THAT ALSO DOES NOT GO THROUGH TO THE FRONT. THERE IS SOME STAINING DUE TO AGE LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD COME OUT WITH A GOOD WASH. I WILL NOT WASH AS I AM NO EXPERT ON ANTIQUE QUILTS. OVER ALL THE QUILT IS IN AMAZING CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE. THE MAIN BACKGROUND FABRIC IS BLACK...LOOKS DIFFERENT ON PIC'S BUT IT IS A BLACK TINY PRINT.
