BERGEN CO., NEW JERSEY ATTRIBUTED DATED DOUBLE WEAVE COVERLET, dark blue wool and natural cotton, whole panel, center featuring foliate ovoid medallion with pineapple motifs, surrounded by various fruit motifs including pears and cherries, all four sides with inner border having cornucopia, flowers, and bouquets in urns and a narrow outer border of leaves and scrolls, top corners with stylized flowers encompassed by hearts, bottom edge with knotted fringe. Bottom corners with owner's name and date of "MARTHA / HOLDRUM / 1849". Attributed to an unidentified Bergen Co., NJ maker. Dated 1849. 72 1/2" x 95 1/2" with fringe.
Catalogue Note: The owner is probably identified as Martha Holdrum, who was born on August 20, 1831 in Rockland Co., New York to parents Cornelius J. Holdrum (1806-1871) and Elizabeth DePew (1809-1881). This coverlet could possibly have been an 18th birthday present for Martha. On October 1, 1851, she married Abraham Peter Jersey (1829-1905) of Bergen Co., NJ, and the couple had at least one son. Martha died on January 22, 1913 and is buried at Tappan Cemetery of Tappan, Rockland Co., NY along with her family.
