EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning sunburst quilt, hailing from Kentucky in the early 19th century, showcases the rich artistic heritage of American textile arts. The intricate design, featuring a radiant sunburst motif surrounded by concentric circles, is a captivating example of the allegorical figures and symbolic allegories that were popular during this period. The quilt, made of cotton fabric backed with cotton plain weave, is pieced together and quilted with cotton thread. The sunburst motif, a common symbol of life, light, and renewal, is framed by a series of colorful circles, adding depth and dimension to the design. The cotton batting used for insulation gives the quilt a soft and plush texture, making it an inviting addition to any bedroom. Despite its unknown creator, this quilt is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of the American people during the 19th century. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the beauty and significance of textiles in our history. This sunburst quilt, now a cherished object in the textile collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, is a must-see for anyone interested in the artistic schools and designs of the United States during the 19th century. Its intricate patterns and vibrant colors continue to inspire and captivate viewers, making it a true masterpiece of American heritage art.
