FAQs

An 18th-century quilted coverlet is a decorative, flat bed covering constructed from lightweight woven fabrics such as linen or cotton, decorated with hand embroidery, quilting, or needlework detailing characteristic of the Georgian era.

These textiles were primarily made from hand-spun linen or cotton base fabrics, stitched with silk, wool, or cotton threads. Batting or quilting layer fillings were typically composed of thin layers of raw cotton or carded wool.

Authentic pieces display subtle irregularities consistent with hand spinning and hand weaving, uneven stitch tension from manual quilting, age-appropriate wear or soft discolouration, and hand-embroidered heraldic symbols, monograms, or period floral motifs.

An antique coverlet can be folded neatly across the foot of a bed over plain crisp bedding, draped over an occasional armchair, or mounted securely on a wall frame as a framed textile artwork.

Store the item flat or gently rolled with acid-free tissue paper in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight. Cleaning should only be performed by a professional textile conservator.
