Description

1880’s SWEETEST ANTIQUE CINNAMON/DOUBLE PINK BROKEN DISHES VINTAGE 4 POSTER QUILT AS NEW!

This is the sweetest hand pieced & hand quilted 1880’s Double/ Cinnamon Pink BROKEN DISHES Quilt which was made specifically for a 4 poster bed with very deep cut out corners measuring 20″!!

I purchased this unwashed, unused quilt during 2003 from Maine: USA & it measures 82″ x 91”.
There is a feast of early fabrics for study: the overall colour scheme is pink & brown.
The feature is the setting fabric: a gorgeous cinnamon/double pink indicative of the era….the broken dishes show a great variety of florals & prints in delicious madder browns, chocolate, tan & cocoa brown, taupes, various shirting & cinnamon/double pinks etc.

In total there are 64 Broken Dishes blocks each measuring 6.5” x 6.5” separated by the 3.25” wide double pink sashing with a thin hand-applied binding of chocolate brown.
The quilt has then been very neatly hand quilted – 8 stitches to the inch over a whisper of cotton batting & backed with a coarse cream muslin pieced from 3 narrow sections of fabric.

This quilt is in excellent condition for age: in fact it doesn’t appear to have ever been washed or used & I believe it has mainly been in storage since it was made and perhaps used as a display quilt at some stage.
There is no damage to any of the quilt in fact you can still see and feel the sizing front & back……there is an area near the centre of the quilt that looks to have had something spill on it at some stage so a few light stains have remained…..see pictures.
There is also a small amount of rust coloured markings to an area on the back that may have been there before the quilt was constructed?
The seams are strong, as are all the fabrics & quilting stitches.

All this quilt needs is a good soak in a bath….she could then easily be put straight into general use & would look beautiful on a little girl’s or teenagers bed……this would suit new quilt buyers.
There are absolutely no odours.
