BIEDERWAND JACQUARD ANTIQUE COVERLET, BLAIR CTY PA. for Miller


 
BIEDERWAND JACQUARD ANTIQUE COVERLET,  BLAIR CTY PA. for Miller
Signed S. Miller, Blair Ct. (near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania). The signature placement on this coverlet is unique to my experience handling jacquards. They are semi-circular medallions located at four corners within the field rather than in square blocks at the outermost corners. This jacquard was woven on an early full-width loom so there is no center seam. The rich colors are as deep as the day it was woven. The format is a central medallion of an eight point star surrounded by groups of tiny triangles, along with rows of flowers, leaves and scrollwork that are classic coverlet motifs. Very few signed coverlets are known from this region of Pa.
