Absolutely...the stitching does appear to be pretty perfect like it was done from a machine.. Which makes me doubt that it is from 1890. Also, I was asking around at work today and someone said if it was really "Satin silk" that it would have fallen apart by now...

Antique Questions Forum / Antique Blanket/quilt??

« on: July 02, 2013, 05:55:14 pm »

Hello all! I found this blanket at a local antique store and am hoping it's a real antique. I paid $20 for it and was told it was from the 1890's and is victorian. I want to trust the lady but I'm not sure if she's just a good sales woman. Please help me date it! There are no tags or markings that I can find and when I google it everyone say's its a 'quilt' but I don't know. Thanks a bunch!
