Vintage and Antique Linens by Em's Heart
Antique Matelasse
Jacquard Coverlet, Rare Smaller Size
Item Number T32108
Perky feather patterned and ribbon bordered antique linen and cotton Matelasse coverlet is everything one would expect in a finer piece of this style: detailed, purposeful design with a center medallion and balanced with a repeating geometric border. My, oh, MY! This rare smaller size coverlet was likely intended for a youth sized bed, but honestly, I think it would be a waste to not put it on your table at least once! I imagine a wee Victorian child was quite happy to sleep under this beautiful piece....but now, I say put it on your table, break out your Tuscan Chicken recipe and scatter bunches of ribbon tied lavender and rosemary down the center of the piece...can I come, too??
The color is creamy white -- it looks darker in the photos than it is in person. It was rarely if ever used and has a laundry marks in two corners. It is spotless and in near perfect condition except for three very small marks near the edge from the marking ink. Absolutely delectable! Freshly laundered and pressed, in excellent condition. c.1880's - 1900. 55" X 74"
