Stunning 1800s Bedspread Throw Patent No. 2196 A.D. 1881 Woven Coverlet Greek Key Pattern Reversable NOTE REPAIRS

Please REVIEW ALL PHOTOS as they are part of the description, feel free to ask for more photos if you would like. This is being sold AS IS, AS FOUND. It is NOT returnable. Read FULL Description below for an accurate assessment of condition.

I've seen a couple other coverlets like this with the same Patent No. and date but with no designer or manufacturing name.

It is reversible and has obviously been used and has been well loved. The repairs appear to be quite old, some appear to be done by machine and some by hand, see photos for examples. Both of the ends were turned up and sewed by hand, parts of which have become unsewn, see pic #8. I wondered if maybe at some point there had been fringe that someone removed? There are MULTIPLE repairs. And yet, it is a beautiful piece, Just imagine the history of it!

Measures approx. 90" x 78"

I try to accurately describe and photograph any flaws but I am only human and on occasion may miss something. Please forgive me if that is the case! Condition of vintage items is somewhat subjective, what doesn't bother me might bother someone else. If you have any questions about a particular item in our shop feel free to reach out before purchasing or after you've bought something.

A WORD ABOUT SHIPPING

I spend a great deal of time making sure that all items are properly packaged before I ship them. I ship using the United States Post Office most of the time. The post office recently updated their policy for damage claims. The shop owner can no longer open a claim using just photos. If a piece is received damaged or broken it is a SHIPPING claim. It is the responsibility of the buyer to initiate a claim with the shipping carrier (i.e., USPS). I will do whatever I can to assist the buyer in starting a claim.

I am not able to give refunds for broken items. Contact your local post office directly (they will probably ask you to bring the broken, damaged item to your nearest post office for confirmation on a claim). This will yield quicker results for you. Your tracking number (provided by Etsy once I've created a label) is visible online under your purchase info.

There are shipping delays worldwide and while I have had very few issues overall, I cannot do anything to retrieve, find or track a package other than what you can do yourself. When tracking shows the package has been delivered, I cannot give a refund if the package is stolen or can't be found. Once it is in the hands of the USPS all I can do is direct you on how to file an inquiry/claim.
