Dating to circa 1937, Mabel Ritter’s Tulip Pattern Quilt stands as a masterful documentation of American textile history, originally rendered for the Index of American Design. This work captures the precise, geometric hand-stitching and stylized botanical motifs characteristic of classical mid-nineteenth-century quilting. Ritter’s rendering translates the tactile weight and structural rhythm of the original textile into a graphic composition of architectural clarity. To preserve the integrity of this historical record, every format—including our canvas presentation—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions without cropping, ensuring a refined, gallery-ready presentation suitable for modern architectural interiors.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
