EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning coverlet, hailing from Coverlet, Illinois, in the United States during the 19th century, showcases the intricate art of weaving that was prevalent in rural America during this time. The exact creator of this beautiful textile remains unknown, but its vibrant colors and intricate design speak to the skill and creativity of the weaver. The coverlet is made from a cotton and wool plain weave, with supplementary patterning wefts overshot in a technique known as overshot weaving. This method, which involves using multiple weft colors to create complex geometric patterns, was a popular choice for American weavers in the 1800s. The coverlet features two loom widths joined together, resulting in a large, impressive size that would have provided ample warmth and comfort in a bedroom or bedchamber. The dominant color is a rich, bold red, which is complemented by various shades of brown and white. This coverlet is a testament to the heritage art of weaving that was once common in rural America. It is an object of beauty and historical significance, and a reminder of the skill and craftsmanship that went into creating such intricate textiles. The coverlet is now part of the textile collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is preserved and displayed for all to appreciate. Its presence in a renowned art institution speaks to its importance as an artistic and cultural artifact, and a valuable addition to the annals of American art history.
