LINEN AND FLAX ANTIQUE JACQUARD COVERLETS, rare pair with pillow shams
   

 



Probably southeastern PA and made for summer use. Linen woven in two tones--the natural flax and a lighter, more linen color. Wonderful patterning is visible thanks to this light and dark contrast, including guinea hens (?) in the corners. The pair comes with 2 matching long pillow shams to drape at the head of the bed. All fringe is intact. A rare find

linen c. mid 19th c 62" X 80" plus separate pillow shams
