Item Description: Rare and unusual color -- Bittersweet Orange and ? biscuit tan? Size 68" width x 74" length. In very good condition - with less than average wear considering it's age. Note along bottom edge and showing on both sides, is info on manufacturer - reads thusly: First line: MANUF BY H.F. STAGER & SONS. FAST COLORS Second line: MOUNTJOY. LANCASTER. COUNTY. PENN Through research it is believed that Henry Stager & Sons, operated in Mount Joy in 1840's and that this coverlet may be one of 6 of theirs that were "signed" but undated. Fringed on 3 edges originally, heavier fringe remains along lower half on both side lengths, well worn off along bottom edge - so may have been tucked in/under. At top edge, a folded hem-like edge. Very top center has short tear (photo but not split apart in photo). Showing more on "light" colored side, here and there are some thinner areas, (photo of a spot here) that don't go thru to dark side, are not dastard or unsightly flaws. The mentioned short tear, center top is only serious flaw and can be mended. One dark spot. I note that upon seeing the images on screen the extra images show more red than the orange tone this really is - just FYI. Delightful woven pattern features large wing spread eagles, plumes and even at side corners note the pineapple design. (Leaves there, so . . . don't believe to be pinecones.)
