| Title | Woven coverlet, 1780-1840 |
| Type | Double cloth |
| Subtype | Geometric |
| Creator | Unknown |
| Date.Original | 1780?-1840? |
| Contributors | Plantinga, Gilbert (Photographer); LeFevre-Stratton, Leslie (Curator) |
| Description | Warp: natural cotton and blue dyed wool. Filling (weft): natural cotton and blue dyed wool. The coverlet takes on a carpet like quality. Its slightly rounded blocks are similar to the large repeat medallion motifs seen in ingrain or Scotch carpeting. This is not surprising since many professional coverlet weavers were trained in the carpet weaving industry, thus the name "carpet" coverlet was sometimes applied to these double cloth, geometric patterned bed coverings. The top and bottom hems have been bound with overshot tape which has faded to brown and white, but was originally blue or purple and white. The coverlet is seamed down the center. |
| Notes | Similar blue and white woven tape has been found in the Locust Lawn collection on aprons and in a bundle on a wooden winder. Tapes were used for binding on clothing, quilts, carpets, etc. Tapes were woven on small looms that sat on a table. The works in this exhibition are on display from October 16-December 12, 2010 and January 26-March 18, 2011 at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at the SUNY New Paltz, 1 Hawk Drive, New Paltz, NY.
