White Work 19C Trapunto Floral Urn Stuffed Quilt
This MAGNIFICENT all white cotton 1840's bride's quilt is all entirely hand quilted whitework, with dense hand quilting whitework, and the best trapunto work (stuffed quilting) you're likely to ever see! It may be difficult to see from the photos, but the pattern is in the traditional round medallion style, with an elaborate center handled urn, with detailed flowers, and with skinny trapuntoed woven strips that form the handles on the urn on a field of diamond grid quilting. Stuffed grape clusters surround the medallion. There are four smaller versions of the urn surrounding the central large urn. The quilting is incredible. This is surrounded by a detailed feathered swag border, then wonderful flowing swags of florals, and leaf clusters.
I have darkened photos so the designs can be seen.

APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENT
This quilt measures 87 inches x 71-1/2 inches.

CONDITION
The condition is good/excellent, unwashed condition, as found, with the one yellow storage stain discoloration, no repairs and no wear. I have not laundered this quilt and could use a refresh soak. I believe with a good soak and sunshine this stain will fade away. The quilting and stuffed raised work is incredible, with various floral, corded and other designs trapuntoed on a quilted background, all at an even 9-10 stitches to the inch. The back and hand stitched binding are white and the batting is thin. You can see cotton seed residue inside when you hold the quilt up to the light. I have not laundered this quilt.
