This stunning patchwork comprises of a central square on point surrounded by large triangles , finished by oblong border pieces. Each piece is a wonderful represenation of the creative printing of the period . In excellent order . All hand stitched and quilted , backed in the plain cream undyed fabric often used at this time.
Jen owned this piece many years ago and has now had the good fortune to buy it back. A very rare oppotunity to buy such a spectacular piece.
( We have in the collection a similar piece that had belonged to Sir Robert Peel ,twice prime minister in the early nineteenth century , whose father was one of the richest textile manufacturers of the early industrial revolution )
