- Description:
- Bedspread. Marseilles-type, cotton woven to imitate hand quilting. The design, which is typical of Marseilles pieces, features a center medallion design with a star motif surrounded by multiple oval frames. These frames feature Rococo-style florals and flourishes, as well as Greek Revival-type palmettes. The outer border is a diamond grid filled with a geometric motif. The quilt is woven in one width; the sides are selvedge and the top and bottom are hemmed and machine-stitched, which appears to be original.
