Eagle Coverlet
c. 1938
Eva Wilson's 1938 design for the 'Eagle Coverlet' bursts with bold, horizontal bands of red, blue, and gold, featuring intricate floral and bird motifs that look ready to be woven into a cozy blanket. The sketch, complete with carefully rendered tassels at the top, showcases the rich, folk-art inspired aesthetic that was making a huge comeback in early 20th-century textile design. It's a beautiful reminder of how artists once treated everyday home decor with the same care and creativity as fine art, turning a simple bed covering into a vibrant tapestry of pattern and color.
