Description:
Four-piece quilting frame, two poles and two end pieces. The wooden ratchet to roll up the textile as all three layers are quilted, as well as the hand-wrought nails, both suggest a date closer to 1800. Possibly wedges were inserted to stabilize . Champhered legs (clinched ratchet at one end). See also 82.185.
