- Description
- Column or Pillar prints had two periods of popularity during the first half of the nineteenth century. This quilted counterpane consists of five lengths of cotton, roller-printed in a design of columns and flowers in red, yellow, and black on a drab ground. It has an ivory cotton lining, cotton filling. Concentric right angle lines, arranged in blocks, make up the quilting pattern; quilted at 5-6 stitches per inch. Bound with 5/8-inch straight strips of 5 different roller-print cottons seamed to the front, whipped to the lining. Corners cutouts, 22-24 inches, at the bottom, make this an example of typical mid-nineteenth century bedding.
