Design for a Valance in with Thin Bushes and Garlands of Flowers and a Shell Motif with a Hanging Curtain
Object type: drawing ornament architecture
Date: 1870 – 1900
Materials: watercolor
Artist: anonymous, french, 19th century
Artist role: designer
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1800 – 1900

Renaissance pieces of art and design were reinterpreted in a variety of forms and motifs, and classical figures, scrolling decorations, strapwork, and grotesques and moresques, became central element in design. This Revival was characterized by the use of design motifs that alluded to Classical Antiquity, including vases and trophies with pastoral attributes, classical figures and cameos, a mixture of real and fantastic figures, and swags and festoons. These swags and festoons comprised garlands of fabric and ribbon, as well as thin bundles and garlands of flowers and husks colored with pastels. The scale of this design is clearly not true to life and it is not unlikely that this drawing was made for a sample book of an upholsterer, to be shown to the customer as one of many different styles to choose from. The design consists of an onrnamental frame rendered with shoades of yellow to simulate a golden finish and is decorated with bundles and thin garlands of leaves and flowers over a light grayish-blue color. The leaves are colored with shades of green and light brown, and the flowers are colored with shades of pink, blue, yellow and carmine. There is a large bundle of flowers, possibly roses or camelias, in the upper center of the valance design, which also contains a couple of pipes, possibly from a musical instrument, colored with brown. The frame contains a shell motif above this bundle. The background outside the frame is colored with dark reddish-pink. A curtain of the same color, rendered like this possibly to simulate velvet, is drawn in the inner part of the valance, tied with two ropes with tassles, also of the same color, and half-hiding a simple shape of a window, showing a realistic drawing for the design, which presents the customer how it would look like when placed in the interior.

Goldweight with a Geometric Design
Object type: decorative art
Date: 1701 – 1900
Materials: copper alloy, metal
Culture: asante or akan
Location: ghana
Subjects: geometric motif

Brass-cast gold weights were used to measure gold dust, the local currency in the Akan-speaking regions of southern Ghana and the Ivory Coast between the 15th and 20th centuries. The gold weights—made of a copper alloy—enabled merchants to carry out trade with towns of the West African Sahel, North Africa and later, with the Portuguese and the Dutch. The designs of gold weights are incredibly diverse—consisting of simple geometric designs in either high or low relief to representational sculptural forms based on items essential to West African life. This weight shows signs of extensive wear and use, suggesting that it may be from an early period, probably some time between 1500 and 1720. Its composition consists of two concentric squares and a singular lattice form placed centrally and prominently in the center.

Hexagonal dish
Object type: dish
Date: 1696 – 1696
Materials: silver
Techniques: gilding
Subjects: flowers,coat of arms

The center of each dish in this set (acc. nos. 2010.110.42–49) bears an engraved laurel wreath encircling a coat of arms. Small differences in these arms could be the result of different masters working quickly to complete what was probably a much larger set for a wedding that was fast approaching. The bold blossoms in the six corners symbolize both the wish for abundance throughout marriage and the transitory glories of earthly existence. Salgo acquired two of these dishes at a later date from the others, but all eight pieces belonged to the same set of fourteen dishes that were once part of the Andrássy treasury.

The diversity of women’s apparel in England is illustrated in this extensive costume series. Hollar represented women from all ranks of society, from the humble countrywoman 1 to the elegant noblewoman 2. The more fashionable costumes are based on eyewitness observation of the ladies at the court of the Earl of Arundel, Hollar’s primary patron. They are therefore among the more reliable visual sources for costume historians.

Artist nationality: american, born scotland
Artist dates: 1770 – 1854

In the early nineteenth century, designers and furniture makers embraced a revival of Classical prototypes from ancient Greek and Roman architecture and decorative arts, like this taboret (or stool). The curule form, or ogee-crossed stretcher base, plays on a Classical folding stool (sella curulis) often used by Roman magistrates which was popularly adapted by nineteenth-century French and English designers. Designs for taborets with curule bases appear in well-known publications from the period like Pierre de La Mésangère's Collection de Meubles et Objets de Goût (1820–1831) and the London fashion journal, Ackerman’s Repository of Arts. This taboret is part of an expansive suite of seating furniture attributed to the workshop of cabinetmaker Duncan Phyfe (see 66.221.1–.10 and 1972.264.1–.2). It was made to furnish the New York City townhouse, belonging to the lawyer Samuel A. Foot, located at 678 Broadway which had been completed in 1837. In 1847 the Foot family relocated to Geneva, New York, and sold the Broadway house to Foot's nephew, Thomas A. Davies. The Phyfe suite was likely moved to the family's new dwelling, a palatial Grecian-style villa named Mullrose (extant, though altered). The furniture came to the museum through Foot’s descendants.
