Description
This blue & white, cotton and wool, overshot coverlet was executed in a "Rose" pattern. This is one panel of a coverlet which has had the center seam removed either due to use and age or as a result of Colonial Revival repurposing as curtains or portieres. The other half is T11168-A. This section has a center seam, and three finished seams. There is one hemmed edge, and there are two selvedges. The coverlet has a small overall design, sometimes known as Roses.
