About antique textiles:
Antique quilts may show signs of age such as wear, fading, small spots, thinning fabrics, or minor fabric loss. These are not considered flaws but rather characteristics of antique textiles that have been used and cared for over many generations.
This is a beautiful example of American folk art and a true piece of textile history.
This quilt is absolutely gorgeous in person.
