When you think of a home decorated for the holiday season, an antique quilt is often central to the room setting. Displaying such an heirloom – whether from one’s family or  a store-bought antique – is a simple decorative gesture, yet it speaks volumes. It expresses a sense of continuity, of home, family, and tradition, its hand-made beauty a memorable visual accent.

FISHER HERITAGE, acclaimed for its one of a kind, out of the ordinary selections especially in antique quilts and in hooked rugs, also carries the best of the classics for traditionalist clients.

Featured for the season are holiday staples including 19th century red and green floral applique ‘show’ quilts, brilliantly colored Pennsylvania Mennonite pieced quilts, two color green or red pieced quilt classics that are geometric or pictorial with houses or trees. Of course, the full range of quilt types over two centuries from crib size to king size is always available. Whether a rare dazzling Mennonite 1880s String Stars, a charming Cathedral Windows in cheery  red, or an elegant green and white Lone Star-Within-A- Star pieced quilt, the abundance of wonderful graphics from which to choose will thrill you or your gift recipient.

And as a gift to all our clients, end of year celebratory discounts are available throughout the gallery in folk art and in textiles like 1950s tablecloths, all white 19th century Marseilles bedspreads, paisley shawls, Beacon blankets and more. Get in touch soon for the broadest selection.

Hours are Monday through Friday 11- 4:30. Call or email for photos or stop in to choose your favorite.
