FRENCH WHITEWORK QUILT A beautiful quilt or piqué (the French word for quilt) that can be used in any number of different ways.  The French put a quilt of this size on top of the bed to create a layered look.  They might also use it on top of a table as a decoration.  Or, folded and placed over the back of a sofa.    I would date this quilt or piqué as circa 1860-70.  The top of the quilt is constructed from a fine cotton.  The back has a cotton edge and the center of the back is a fine homespun linen. The back carries the hand embroidered initials in red, "A.C." in two places.   Size:  62" x 52" Condition:  Quilt is in excellent condition.  It is free from rips, tears, repairs, stains.  There are 6 balls missing from the ball fringe tape decoration.  These could be recreated using some fine cotton yarn or you could remove the fringe tape from the quilt.. I washed this quilt so it is clean and ready to use. If you have always wanted a French quilt to add to your collection, this one is just lovely and very versatile. $1195.00 Click on photo to enlarge it.  On a table.  Another view.  Detailed views 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
