Title	Woven coverlet, 1780-1840
Type	Double cloth
Subtype	Geometric
Creator	Unknown
Date.Original	1780?-1840?

Description	Warp: natural cotton and blue dyed wool. Filling: natural cotton and blue dyed wool. The design is made up of "rose" and "snowball" variants with a grid-like appearance. The slightly curved linear elements come together to form overlapping rings. The corner blocks are unusual. Many coverlets have a center seam where two lengths of cloth were sewn together to create the coverlet width. This example is not seamed - it was woven on a wider "broad" loom.
