"Coverlet" (1842) by Samuel Meily is a stunning example of American folk art. Crafted in black and white wool, the coverlet features a intricate repeating pattern of floral motifs, skillfully stitched by Meily, a Mansfield, Ohio resident. This striking piece, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, reflects the craftsmanship and artistic talents present in American homes during the 19th century, and highlights the intricate nature of early American textiles.
