Description

 

Does anyone know the value of this coverlet?  I believe it was woven by Bartlett French for Mary Eastman.. possibly in 1835.  The item has been passed down in our family. We have no relation to either the weaver Mr. French or to Mary Eastman.  I'm not sure where it was originally purchased.

This has been passed down in the family for years. It appears to have been woven by Mr. French for a Mary Eastman. Neither is of any relation to us. We assume this was purchased by a family member but are not sure.
