Antique 1850 Jacob C. Schriver tri-color Jacquard Coverlet - Hampton, Adams County, PA. This coverlet is made of linen & dyed wool and was woven in two pieces and stitched together. The pattern includes rose, vine and sunburst. It has a natural tan linen color background, as shown best in photos 6 & 7. The other photos appear whiter from the bright light. The wool colors are dark pink (fuschia), mustard, and black. As the photos show, the black wool has mostly deteriorated, although there are some areas left intact. I believe the missing wool is due to the tannin dye having been infused with iron oxide?, which is deteriorating to the wool. The coverlet is in great shape other than that. No rips or stains. It is light weight (weighs 4 lbs. 11 oz.) and it is reversible. One corner is signed by the weaver with the date and location. The coverlet appears to have been made for an E. Vine, as shown at the ends of each row of flowers. The fringe at the bottom is in great shape, with just a few shortened. The side fringes have more wear and the rows with the black dye are missing. All in all, a nice piece by a coveted weaver. One of his coverlets is in the Henry Ford Museum.
