Yup -- another antique Whig Rose wool coverlet. I am in LOVE! This one is said to be from the 1940s. This one looks like it could be Goodwin Guild, although there's no tag on it. It feels like the other ones. ;-) I am fond of their coverlets from a certain era, because the wool is soft with a nice drape, they are not so old that you can still find them in mint condition, and I could actually use them on the bed.
The white and red sides with the border in between ...
It's large enough for a queen-size bed. Mine is only a double, and it more than covers it, piled high with winter quilts underneath.
Here's a shot showing both the red and white sides, along with the borders. Lovely!
I absolutely LOVE this coverlet!
Here's a detail shot of the fibers and weave structure, where you can see the overshot red pattern threads along with the ivory warp and tabby threads that give it stability and structure.
The Whig Rose
Here's a detail shot of the rolled hems.
Here it is folded into quarters. It's big!
Here it is folded in half.
Even with the top turned down, there's still plenty left to cover the bed.
