Brikabrak - Antique Log Cabin Quilt

This marvellous graphic quilt from c.1870 is in mint condition. A myriad of colours dance on the surface of the textile - purples, browns, and blues - and the repetition of the red block adds harmony to the design. Despite being over 150 years old, this perfectly preserved striking graphic design could read as contemporary digital design and would make impactful art for your home. The Log Cabin quilt holds beautiful cultural significance; in the time of the Underground Railroad, these quilts hung on a windowsill were used to signify a safe place where an enslaved person on the run could seek shelter. Please note slight signs of wear to be expected due to age. *this item requires a separate shipping quote on request Naum House can source antique American quilts - please contact shop@naumhouse.com.
