Coverlet
c. 1937
Eva Wilson’s 1937 design for a coverlet bursts with a striking blue-and-white palette, featuring bold octagonal medallions filled with stylized floral motifs. The geometric precision of the interlocking shapes contrasts beautifully with the organic, almost frosted look of the flower patterns inside. Rendered with rough, textured edges on a cream background, this piece looks like a vibrant study or fragment of a larger textile. It captures a fascinating moment in design history where traditional craftsmanship met modern geometric abstraction, turning a simple bed covering into a bold graphic statement.
