Item:                  Old and totally AUTHENTIC antique 1930s/40s-era patchwork quilt in a RARE old pattern called Orange Peel or Tea Leaf -- a very busy kaleidoscope of colors and form -- SWEET old feedsacks placed against a creamy background with FABULOUS, FOLKY visuals and an old COUNTRY-CHARMER personality -- someone took the time to save up these old feedsacks and plan ahead for the creation of this STUNNING  quilt -- one made from recycling the old materials, yet ELEGANCE personified -- should be displayed and CELEBRATED, especially during the upcoming holidays as families gather and honor American traditions and history -- perfect for any decor from cottage/cabin retreat to Victorian Farmhouse -- real oldies like this are getting few and far between -- this is no replica or reproduction -- this is the GENUINE ARTICLE, and GUARANTEED you won't be disappointed -- it is truly AMAZING -- don't miss adding this one to your collection! Materials:           All old 100% vintage cottons, including mostly the above-mentioned FEEDSACKS creating the pattern against a creamy background -- narrowly bordered and banded in a luscious blue and pink floral cotton print -- backed in solid creamy cotton -- straight edges.  Batting:               Light layer of old hand-carded cotton, that came straight from the cotton patch -- nice and thin, and elegant -- probably made in a country home as an elegant family heirloom showpiece to be handed down to future generations -- made by a proud seamstress who was really showing off her handwork skills -- everything very nicely-executed -- matched and measured -- lays flat and even.  Handwork:         Totally hand-pieced and hand-quilted in a very plentiful pattern following the design of the quilt at 6-7 small stitches per inch -- this quilt has an amazing presence and is fully capable of being the SUPER-STAR in any antique quilt collection. Size:                    74" x 84" Condition:           Absolutely excellent condition for a 60+ year old quilt -- clean, strong and sturdy -- light wear/gentle usage, if any, and may have been completed and stored away for many years -- saved for company or saved for "good", and good never came -- colors crisp and vibrant -- edges in great shape -- batting in fine shape -- everything intact -- a few tiny age spots and some light surface soil, which is absolutely insignificant to the overall value, appearance or desirability of the piece -- nothing else to report, and no apologies here -- it has EXCEPTIONAL display value, as you can see in the pics -- ready for your bed, stacked in your quilt cabinet, hung over the door of your jelly cupboard -- or hang immediately as SPECTACULAR wall-art -- this is the ultimate rare old Orange Peel or Tea Leaf quilt...a CELEBRATION of TEXTILE ART...and truly a SHOW-STOPPER!    Please email any questions.  Priority shipping with delivery confirmation will be $11.95 -- insurance is extra, and optional.  OUTSIDE THE U.S.A., SHIPPING WILL BE QUOTED AT END OF AUCTION -- BE PREPARED TO PAY GLOBAL AIR PRIORITY RATES ONLY.
