Antique Early Red & Grn Rose Of Sharon Applique Quilt 1870 Cotton & Wool Challis

Description: WONDERFUL EARLY ANTIQUE ROSE OF SHARON APPLIQUE QUILT DATING AROUND 1860-70. ORIGINALLY THIS QUILT WAS RED AND GREEN. THE FLOWER STEMS AND LEAVES WERE CUT FROM WOOL CHALLIS AND DYED GREEN.....THE VEGETABLE DYES FROM THIS PERIOD WERE NOT STABLE AND OVER MANY MANY YEARS BECOME FUGITIVE & FADE. NOW, THE LEAVES AND STEMS ARE A TAN COLOR UN LIKE THE 19TH CENTURY RED DYES THAT WERE COLOR FAST. THE RED FLOWERS ON THIS QUILT ARE BRIGHT AND VIVID RED. ANOTHER CLUE USED TO DATE THIS QUILT IS ITS SIZE. THIS IS A LARGE QUILT. IT WOULD/WILL HAVE A 12-14" DROP ON BEDS FROM THIS TIME PERIOD. THE COTTON FABRIC THAT THE MAKER APPLIQUED THE FLOWERS ON "APPEARS" TO ME TO BE A HOMESPUN COTTON! AGAIN, THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE AGE OF THIS QUILT... MOST INTERESTING IS THAT THE APPLIQUE IS TOP STITCHED BY MACHINE MOST LIKELY A HAND CRANK SEWING MACHINE. WOMEN WHO COULD AFFORD A SEWING MACHINE WOULD TOP STITCH BY MACHINE SO OTHER WOMEN WHO SAW HER QUILT WOULD NOTICE THE MACHINE STITCHING AND "KNOW" SHE OWNED A SEWING MACHINE. IT IS DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES SKILL TO GUIDE THE NEEDLE AROUND ALL THE CURVES AND POINTS ON THE FLOWERS. I FOUND NO MAKER I.D. VERY THIN QUILT.... NO BATTING BETWEEN THE LAYERS. THE BACKING IS AGAIN, HOMESPUN COTTON. THE GREEN (TAN) WOOL CHALLIS IS WORN AND SPLITTING....THERE ARE SEVERAL SMALL AGE RELATED STAINS. NONE ARE LARGE OR UNSIGHTLY. PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS... QUILT IS NOT PERFECT BUT DISPLAYS WELL! NO ODORS. I HAVE "AIRED" IT IN THE BEAUTIFUL TENNESSEE SUNSHINE (COVERED). FOUND AT A FABULOUS OLD TENNESSEE ESTATE. QUESTIONS??? PLEASE ASK! ANTIQUE TEXTILES ARE MY "THING".
