Zoar Jacquard Coverlet c. 1938

Fritz Boehmer’s "Zoar Jacquard Coverlet" (c. 1938) is a hand-woven jacquard textile. It features a rich array of motifs, including stylized birds, lions, trees, and flowers. The coverlet is woven in various colors, with a predominance of green, red, and blue. The bottom edge of the coverlet features the word "Zoar", a town in Ohio where the coverlet is believed to have been made, suggesting the coverlet was a local craft. The coverlet showcases the skill and craftsmanship of Boehmer, a prominent textile artist in the early 20th century.
