1850s Mariner's Star Quilt
From Pennsylvania, this pattern is a personal favorite of ours that we don’t find often.
Raspberry calico that has loss due to the mordant in the darker dye used to print it, but is nonetheless stunning as an overall piece. Certainly uncommon to find a quilt of this age in such beautiful and usable shape!
D E T A I L S
How it’s made: hand quilted, hand pieced
Weight: light
Measurements laid flat: 88" x 102"
Shown on a standard Full size bed.
If you’d like to hang your quilt, we recommend our locally made Folkling Quilt Clips!

Surface dirt, discoloration and some spotting throughout, fabric losses throughout red cotton piece work due to dye process used at the time, one hole on front that does not go through backing, one patched hole on back near edge.
Most importantly: Please do not cut this quilt for a coat or other project. It is too beautiful and in gorgeous condition and a work of art in and of itself. It would be tragic to cut up such a beautiful piece of textile history.
⋒ This is an antique piece, all photos have been taken in natural light and with limited editing to reflect its condition. Please keep in mind all antique pieces have little imperfections and reflect the story and charm of the piece.
⋒ This find will ship to you within one week of purchasing. International and combined shipping is available, please contact us via instagram DM at @Folkling for a personalized shipping quote.
