Where to Buy Antique Quilts

Antique Quilts are attractive to the eye because of the intricate stitches and the colorful fabrics. These qualities capture onlooker’s attention, some of them are even collectors. Therefore, it only makes sense that there are places where one can buy antique quilts.

By combining ancient traditions of patchwork and quilting, antique quilts have become quite popular to the modern day consumer. Some get one and reserve it in their family treasure, giving it as an heirloom to their children. Because of these, stores selling antique quilts are given the assurance that they will always have customers who can enjoy their products.


Check out the nearby bargain stores in your area. Sure enough, they have quilts for sale. Oftentimes, these bargain stores have antique quilts on display, making it easier for you to know which particular store you can find what you are looking for.

Whether the quilt is for you to use in your home or to give as a present to a friend, these stores have a variety of designs you can choose from. They are quite careful in presenting their quilts because artificial light and sunlight can cause the fabric to fade. Therefore, the rooms where these stores put the quilts they sell must have low light levels.

Go to a store that has this kind of lighting. You will be sure that the quilts they are selling don't have faded fabrics.

If you are thinking of hanging the quilt that you buy in your home, then display it for six months. If you have another quilt, then you can rotate them one after the other so that fading fabric won’t be a problem you’ll face.

You can do what stores do with the quilts they sell. They distribute the quilt’s weight over its total width in order to prevent damages from occurring. They also sew four inches of wide tube on the fabric or the sleeve of the quilt. They stitch each inch together and take care to sew into the layers of the whole quilt. Then they attach it on the wall of their stores for display. This is done without damaging the fabric.

How the store takes care of the antique quilts they sell says something about the product. Since you are in the market to get an antique, you might as well get one that has been cared for.
