Authentic Antique Turn-of-the-Century "Hourglass & Block" Patchwork Quilt
**Dimensions:** 69 inches x 76 inches (Standard Full / Double Bed Size)**Era:** Circa 1890–1915 (Late Victorian / Edwardian Era)**Provenance:** Heirloom piece handmade by my great-grandmother.
## Item OverviewOffering a beautiful, genuinely aged American antique patchwork quilt in the traditional Hourglass and Block pattern layout. This piece features a striking visual contrast of deep indigo blue and solid black hourglass units framed by a classic late-Victorian "double-pink" floral sprig calico print. It is entirely hand-pieced and heavily hand-quilted with dense, tight stitches.
## Condition Report & Honest Antique WearThis quilt has been loved and used across generations, showing a gorgeous, authentic farmhouse character. It is structurally sound but displays the following minor age flaws: * Minor fraying and a small tear along the outer edge binding. * A few spots where the dark fabric inside the hourglass blocks has naturally worn through ("shattered" fibers), which is highly characteristic of iron-dyed black cottons from this specific historic era. * No major or harsh staining; faint, gentle age-toning throughout that adds to its vintage patina.
