Type of Quilt: Jacquard coverlet, Machine Quilted

This is a true antique with brilliant colors with his name ,town, county woven into the edge of the coverlet. The only thing missing is the date but I’ve found similar coverlets at shows and on line all made in the 1850’s and 1860’s. I think Jacquard was a French craftsman who invented the machine.
This coverlet came to me through my mother-in-law, Helen Balsbach Bucher.b b

Quilted By: made on a special loom by Wm. Ney in Myerstown, Lebanon County, PA in or about 1850
