Vintage Quilt, "Irish Chain" Pattern (77″ × 79.5″)
This vintage quilt features a rare and visually captivating pattern known as “Irish Chain", which dates back to the mid to late 1800s. It showcases careful symmetry and a rhythmic block structure, brought to life through vintage cotton textiles that have softened beautifully with age.
