1940s Child’s Summer Coverlet | Animal Appliqué Nursery Coverlet | 30” x 45”

This adorable 1940s child’s coverlet has appliquéd animals in red, yellow, blue and pink scattered across a crisp white cotton ground and framed by a sunny yellow border. Lightweight and airy with no batting or quilting, it was likely intended as a summer coverlet for a child’s crib or toddler bed.

The playful appliqué animals — including kittens, puppies, ducks, and a lamb — give it a happy nursery feel, and the bright 1940s fabrics along with the very detailed hand embroidery, add a lot of character to each applique. The edges are neatly finished and overall it has an airy cottage feel.

CONDITION: This little coverlet is in excellent vintage condition with no issues noted.
