| Curatorial Statement | This quilt of multicolored silk and brocade was made by Mrs. Zachary Chandler in the early to mid-1850s. Despite its "crazy" nature, this quilt is highly symmetrical and each piece is almost a perfect square. This quilt exhibits luxury not only on the quilt top but in its rich red satin backing. |
