Description
This
Jacquard
coverlet
of
red
and
blue
wool
and
white
cotton
was
made
by
Benjamin
Lichty
, of
Bristol
,
Ohio
in
1853
.
Benjamin
Lichty
(1811-1882)
was
born
in
Lancaster
County
,
Pennsylvania
and
apprenticed
as a
weaver
at the
age
of
17
. In
1832
, he
settled
in
Stark
County
,
Ohio
.
Between
1836-1854
, he was
weaving
in
Bristol
,
Ohio
in
Wayne
County
,
where
this
coverlet
was
made
. In
1860
, he
moved
back
to
Stark
County
and
later
returned
to
Lancaster
County
,
Pennsylvania
,
where
he
died
.
Between
1825
and
1860
,
jacquard
coverlets
,
bed
coverings
woven
on a
loom
, were
popular
in the
United
States
,
particularly
in
Ohio
,
Pennsylvania
,
Indiana
, and
New
York
.
Frenchman
Joseph
Marie
Jacquard
(1752-1834)
perfected
the
jacquard
mechanism
,
which
could
be
attached
to a
hand
loom
in
order
to
allow
the
weaver
to
create
more
realistic
designs
.
Weaving
was
considered
a
man's
profession
, and
most
weavers
also
made
carpets
or
farmed
for
extra
income
.
Women
were not
involved
in
professional
weaving
(although
they
did
weave
in the
home)
, but
sometimes
provided
hand-spun
and
dyed
wool
for their
coverlet
.
Coverlets
were
often
made
for
special
occasions
,
such
as
weddings
, and were
among
the
family's
cherished
possessions
.
After
the
Civil
War
the
popularity
of
jacquard
coverlets
dwindled
as the
textile
industry
was
fully
mechanized
.
