Description
Antique Silk Ribbon Log Cabin Quilt attributed to Ackerman Family of Bergen County, NJ. 73in x 73in. Comprised of 100 log cabin blocks, set straight 10 by 10, and arranged in groups of 4. Silk ribbons (most likely French), were hand embroidered onto a foundation to create the blocks. There is a 3in brown velvet border, also hand embroidered around the perimeter. There appears to be no batting, but there is a champagne colored cotton sateen backing, and the top is tied at intervals to keep the layers together.Please see our You Tube channel for a video preview of this quilt.
Condition
Condition is fair. The silks ribbons, especially along the fold lines, are wearing, shattering, and coming apart. A few might be able to be repaired. Some discoloration on the back. Still a very unusual, graphic, and one of a kind piece.
