"Coverlet" is a handwoven textile created by Abram William Van Doren in 1846. The coverlet's design is a repeating pattern of stylized floral motifs, including roses, woven in white against a dark blue background. The piece is known for its intricate detail and is a fine example of early American coverlet weaving. "Coverlet" is a testament to the skill of Van Doren, who has signed the artwork with his name and date.
