Pair of 1880s - 1890s patchwork quilts out of the collection of a dealer in antique textiles. These are shredded and browned and worn, but are an interesting collection of 19th century fabrics in popular period colors.

The blue quilt measures about 66" x 73", and the red quilt measures about 70" x 76".

These are tied over wool battings, and I don't believe it'll be possible to ever wash them, as the weight of the fabrics will destroy the quilt tops, I think.

We've aired them laid flat on sheets on sawhorses, set in the shade. They still smell a little stale.
