Antique Silk Baby Quilt 1800s Hand Sewn & Embroidered Victorian Nursery Coverlet

This Victorian infant's quilt was made for a wealthy home in pure silk with hand-stitched quilting and exquisite embroidery. This baby coverlet is a wispy-light silk blanket filled with fine wool batting. The silk is so fine and thin, it's translucent, while the soft pastel flowers are gorgeous antique floss in ombre effect, spiraled like Royal Society embroidery or buttonhole twist. Its age makes it display only. Quilt measures 23 1/2 x 32 1/2 inches.
