- The date 1852, and a large single star, surrounded by 24 smaller stars, appears in the two lower cornerblocks of this blue and white, Figured and Fancy, double-cloth coverlet.

The lower border is a meandering grapevine, and the side borders feature stylized Gothic buildings and flower baskets. There is a fringe along the lower edge.
