Damask Coverlet

c. 1938

Eva Wilson's vibrant design study brings a piece of 19th-century American textile history to life, recreating an 1846 damask coverlet originally woven by Andrew Kump in Hanover, Pennsylvania. The fragment bursts with bold reds, greens, and blues, featuring intricate floral patterns, geometric stars, and leafy borders that end in delicate fringes. Created around 1938, this work preserves the look of historic folk art, showcasing the rich weaving traditions of York County.
