Lot 192
Laurel Leaf Quilt
Description
An American appliqué quilt of rectangular form featuring a "Crossed Laurel Leaves" variation pattern with hand-stitched blocks in printed green and Turkey red cotton on a white field, the central composition enclosed by a repeating swag-and-bow border and hand-quilted throughout in an all-over diagonal grid, the construction being consistent with 19th-century examples from Maryland or Virginia.
Details
cotton
90 x 92 inches
Provenance
From the Collection of Anne H. Hoy - Author, Professor, and Curator
Condition
The quilt exhibits generalized surface staining, localized areas of discoloration, and a few loose threads throughout that would benefit from a cleaning, with a non-original hanging sleeve added to one edge for display purposes, though no technical analysis of the textile fibers or dye stability has been conducted to confirm its precise origin or period of manufacture.
