The Dresden Plate pattern was one of the most popular quilt patterns of the 1920s and 1930s. It is reflective of the Victorian Era with its elaborate decorative household decor. Dresden, Germany was the center of the 19th Century romanticism movement in art, which used fancy floral, fruit and foliage decoration.
