Antique Signature Quilt 1846 Philadelphia
Antique dated 1846-1847 Signature Quilt with names inked and embroidered in the center of a Cross and Crown block. I see two blocks with reference to Philadelphia. Some of the names are: Reuben Miller, Eliza Miller, Grandmother Miller, Eliza A Sowers, Joseph K Miller, Caroline Olivia Clemson, Marcia A Clemson, Thy Cousin Mary Ann Fleming, George B Miller, Oliver P Clemson (possible horse thief 1856-1857), Frances B Miller, David Clemson, Christian M Miller, Edwin Engle, Louisa H Engle, and more. In addition to names, there are also sentiments. It measures 95x93 inches. Condition is poor with fabric deterioration, large spots, age discoloration and tears and several names/sentiments are faded, almost completely gone. We do our best to describe all items in detail and provide pictures. If you have any doubt, please ask questions! We will provide extra pictures, or can schedule an in person or video conference preview at your convenience. In house Flat Rate Shipping of $25 is a domestic shipping estimate. We will gladly combine multiple lots for your convenience and economy. Depending on how many lots we can pack, it may cost an additional $5. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
