Antique French Boutis Quilt

A treasure, hailing from France, this whole cloth quilt, stuffed with sheep's wool, has attached panels for a 4-poster bed accommodation. The front is a soft, heavy weight, woven (likely linen) blend in a bird of paradise and flower motif. The front fabric is in near perfect condition. The backing is attached both by hand and machine. The stuffing is natural sheep's wool, which gives this a heavy weight comforter feel, traditionally found in french quilts of this time period. There is some damage to the backing, particularly along the top edge. It has been steam cleaned and kept privately in storage for the past year. There are some sweet hand mends to the backing. This makes a stunning display piece and shows beautifully on a bed (four post or not!) 

Heavy weight, large size!!

Measures 79 x 94
