Southern two-sided silk and satin hand-pieced quilt featuring two patterns including the "Drunkard's Path" pattern to one side and the "Square in a Square" pattern to the other. The hand quilted lines follow the curved lines of Drunkard's Path blocks and the batting is cotton. 69 1/2" H x 82 1/2" W. Circa 1930's. Provenance note: According to family history, the quiltmaker worked for a cottage industry in Hardinsburg, KY, likely the Eleanor Beard Company which produced fine linens, baby layette items, and full-sized whole-cloth silk or satin quilts with elaborate center medallion quilting. The items, carrying an Eleanor Beard label, were sold in upscale department stores throughout the nation. This two-sided quilt is likely made using sewing remnants from the factory.

Provenance information in description. Shattering of some silk pieces, but satin pieces are in very good condition. No visible staining.
