Hexaon mosaic coverlet made from plain and printed cotton dress fabrics and woven cord fabrics, possible 'Sparva'. The design forms a central hexagon star shape surrounded by rosettes separed by a yellow path. Red hexaon rosettes form a border edge to the coverlet. It was made by Miss Nellie Snape, Mottram St. Andrews, Cheshire, and it is though that the fabrics were given to her by a family relative with a haberdashery business.
