The back has a little bit of fading and a dime sized hole - the front has a tiny spot where the quilting thread has come a little unstitched. Original patches and mends on back. This quilt is in near pristine and perfect condition otherwise and would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
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.
