Product Description
This book contains hundreds of color photographs that identify, illustrate, and evaluate antique textiles of interest in the marketplace today, including quilts, coverlets, Marseille spreads, bonnets, Amish socks, aprons, petticoats, and other fashions for the body and home. The information included in the book allows the reader to familiarize himself with both commonplace and fancy items, and provides a source to guide and educate the inexperienced buyer about currently popular collectibles. It also provides a resource for appraisers and others interested in current market values. Both nineteenth and twentieth century items are included, representative of art and function of everyday living. AUTHORBIO: Bobbie Aug and Sharon Newman met in Paducah, Kentucky, at the 1989 American Quilter's Society Show. Both were in the first group tested and certified as quilt appraisers by AQS. Currently, both serve as members of the AQS Appraiser Certification Program Committee. AUTHORBIO: Gerald Roy comes to quiltmaking from a fine art background. After receiving an MFA in painting, he taught art for 10 years in Oakland, CA. Growing up in Massachusetts, he developed a deep love and appreciation for American antiques. Eventually he and his late partner, Paul Pilgrim, opened a gallery on the west coast. Ever since his first serious quilt purchase in 1969, Gerald has been involved in an all-consuming quest to collect the finest examples of quilts. REVIEW: Bobbie Aug and Gerald Roy's Antique Quilts and Textiles provides a price guide to functional cloths, from pieced quilts and comforters to clothing. Plenty of color plates provide clear pictures of cloth 'comforts' while descriptions begin with an introduction in each chapter and move to histories of each cloth style and type. -Midwest Book Review
