Quilt, Star of Lemoyne pattern variation
Object type: quilt
Date: 1860 – 1860
Materials: cotton, silk
Culture: american
Location: united states

"Amongst the most amusing labors of the needle, that of patchwork will, by many be accepted as the first. It offers great variety in its progress, producing many striking effects by means of exercising taste in all its combinations. In fact, this parqueterie of the work-table requires more of the qualities of the artist than might once have been imagined. It demands a knowledge of the power of form and the value of color. Patchwork is not now what it was a few centuries ago." Godey's Lady's Book, February 1860 (p.163). When this commentary was published in Godey's Lady's Book, silk quilts similar to this example were becoming increasingly popular. Silk quilts were made primarily for decorative purposes and were probably brought out only for show, since in comparison to cotton or wool quilts, they were fragile and difficult to clean. These showpieces often epitomize the kind of artistic quality celebrated by Godey's. This quilt is unusual in both pattern and color scheme. The maker of this quilt quite clearly relied upon "a knowledge of the power of form and the value of color." Here, an overall grid of colorful silk pieces is played off against a somber background. The black ground may signify that it was a mourning quilt, since black is an unusual color choice for a bed cover. However, nothing is known about the quilt's provenance. The small, brilliantly colored touching stars that form the grid can be considered a variation of the traditional Star of Lemoyne pattern.
Terracotta oinochoe (jug)
Object type: oinochoe
Date: 934 – 868
Materials: terracotta
Culture: greek, attic

The vases in this case with the accession numbers that begin with 30.118.1 belong to a deposit that was found at the Sanctuary of Zeus on Mount Hymettos, near Athens. The objects date to a period of about two centuries, from the late tenth to the late eighth centuries B.C. and illustrate the nature of ordinary dedications. Of note is the considerable number of small pieces. The vases were acquired as a gift of the Greek government. This oinochoe and its counterparts, 30.ll8.18, 30.118.20, 30.118.40, illustrate Athenian artists' mastery of potting and decoration from the beginning of the Geometric period.

Even though you might think this looks like a real place, it is not. Karsen was a master of imaginary townscapes, a genre in the Romantic era that was particularly popular around 1850. He travelled to Germany and Prague, and the sights along the way provided enough working material for the remainder of his life. This painting was given to the museum by his son Eduard, who was also a famous painter.

Brewster & Company History Established in 1810 by James Brewster (1788–1866) in New Haven, Connecticut, Brewster & Company, specialized in the manufacture of fine carriages. The founder opened a New York showroom in 1827 at 53-54 Broad Street, and the company flourished under generations of family leadership. Expansion necessitated moves around lower Manhattan, with name changes reflecting shifts of management–James Brewster & Sons operated at 25 Canal Street, James Brewster Sons at 396 Broadway, and Brewster of Broome Street was based at 372 & 374 Broome Street with a repository (showroom) on 14th Street & Fifth Avenue. By 1874, Brewster & Company had 400 employees and combined warehouse and factory facilities at 47th & 48th Streets and Broadway. Brewster successfully branched out to produce their own automobiles, as well as supplying bodies for Rolls Royce at their Long Island City location. Notable clientele included Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, August Belmont, J.P. Morgan, John Jacob Astor, Andrew J. Cassatt (brother of artist Mary Cassatt), William Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick and Pierre Lorillard. Talented draftsmen employed by the firm included Paul Steinbeck, Herman Stahmer and John Gribbon, the latter teaching at the Carriage Builders and Designers Technical School, which opened in 1880 and was housed initially at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When the company finally dissolved in 1923, its last owner William Brewster (1866–1949) donated its archive of design and presentation drawings to the Museum where he served as benefactor and trustee. Of all American carriage manufacturers, none was as highly regarded for design, finish and quality as Brewster & Company. They won many awards for outstanding workmanship, including the Legion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor) at the 1878 Paris Exposition (3rd World’s Fair). In appreciation for this achievement the Carriage Builders’ National Association presented them with a gold enameled Tiffany & Company plaque and autograph book signed by leading American carriage builders, both now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Inlay: banquet scene with a seated figure holding a palm frond
Object type: inlay
Date: 2600 – 2500
Materials: shell
Culture: sumerian
Location: mesopotamia
Subjects: palms

This plaque is cut from a piece of pearly shell in the shape of a seated figure facing to the left, missing the head, feet and right arm. The figure’s gender cannot be determined by any surviving features or by the garment. The body is fully covered except for the left hand, which holds a branch-like object, either a palm frond, date spathe, or an implement such as a whip or fly whisk. A decorative border marked by two incised lines runs from the lap to the hem. The plaque was probably set in bitumen (a tar-like substance used as an adhesive) with pieces of shell and stone to create a composition in contrasting colors, a characteristic technique of the late Early Dynastic period exemplified by the well-known Standard of Ur, now in the British Museum. Nippur, the great holy city of southern Mesopotamia, was the home of the chief deity Enlil and housed temples to Enlil and many other gods. Excavations in the temple of the goddess Inanna have revealed that the sanctuary was first built in the Early Dynastic I period and continually rebuilt on the same site until the Parthian period, some three thousand years later. Hundreds of objects were discovered in the temple: statues, stone bowls and plaques, inlays, furniture attachments, and other fragmentary items, found either in hoards or scattered throughout the building.
