Todd Kibler Country Two Collection!In this auction we have the first of a collection of 19th century coverlets and textiles that we recently acquired from a multi-estate sale in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, this being from the Ex. Todd Kibler Country Two Collection. A blue and white reversible Jacquard coverlet signed Phillip Michael, Susquehanna Township, 1845, M Forrer. Overall with a floral design and fringed along three of the four sides, it measures approx. 102" by 79". There is appropriate age wear with toning to the white, a few scattered spots of soiling, some fringe wear, and it is in our opinion it will need to be professionally cleaned due to it's age and being packed away for many years.

Coverlets were woven in almost every community in the United States from the colonial era until the late 19th century. Coverlets of 18th century America were twill-woven with a linen warp and woolen weft. The wool was most often dyed a dark blue from indigo, but madder red, walnut brown, and a lighter "Williamsburg blue" were also used. From the turn of the 19th century, simple twill-woven coverlets gave way to patterned hand-woven coverlets made in two different ways: Overshot weave coverlets were made with a plain woven undyed cotton warp and weft and repeating geometric patterns made with a supplementary dyed woolen weft. Made on a simple four-harness loom, overshot coverlets were often made in the home and remained a common craft in rural Appalachia into the early 20th century. Summer-winter coverlets were reversible, and the summer-winter term refers to the structure and NOT the color. The summer-winter coverlet should not be confused with double weave and is more closely related to overshot. Like double weave, it is dark on one side and light on the other but there is only one layer of cloth, therefore it is much lighter in mass and thickness. Double-cloth coverlets were double-woven, with two sets of interconnected warps and wefts, requiring the more elaborate looms of professional weavers. Wool for these coverlets was spun (and often dyed) at home and then delivered to a local weaver who made up the coverlet. Following the introduction of the jacquard loom in the early 1820s, machine-woven coverlets in large-scale floral designs became popular.The eBay Calculator is not always right - if the shipping looks too high email us and we will give you an accurate quote prior to the auction ending.Estimated shipping weight, (packaged) is 9 lbs 8 ozin a 18 x 14 x 10 boxFacts about Estate Auctions Inc(Norb & Marie Novocin)This is our 18th year on eBay!over 40,000 sales on eBayEstate Auctions, Inc.We have over 30,000 positive feedback ratings (20,000+ unique)100% Positive feedback and we maintain a great ratingover 10,000 repeat buyersYou can bid with ... read more
