Plate with Calligraphic Decoration

Object type: strip

Artist: Anonymous

Strook naturelkleurige kloskant: Mechelse kant. Het zich herhalende patroon bestaat langs de bovenzijde uit een hangende driehoekige cartouche, met een peervormige bloem tussen twee hartvormige blaadjes. De cartouche wordt afgewisseld door een rozetbloem, die met twee blaadjes en één groot hartvormig blad ontspringt uit het doorlopende patroon langs de onderzijde. Recht onder de driehoek bestaat dit patroon uit vijf aaneengeschakelde cirkeltjes met links en rechts een vierlobbige rozetbloem. Het patroon waaruit de rozetbloem ontspringt bestaat uit twee c-voluten waaruit een groot blad zijwaarts afbuigt. De motieven zijn met elkaar verbonden door een fijne maasgrond, de Mechelse grond. De motieven zijn gemaakt in linnenslag met uitsparingen en met dikkere en glimmende contourdraden.

Stuffed and corded quilt
Object type: quilt
Date: 1845 – 1845
Materials: cotton
Techniques: embroidery

The initial impression of simplicity conveyed by this elegant, monochromatic coverlet, probably made for a bed or table, belies the intense skill and virtuoso technique demanded of its creator. Historically described as “whitework,” this is a whole-cloth quilt (as opposed to a pieced or “patchwork” quilt). It is distinguished by a total absence of colored pigment: instead, the decorative and figurative design is achieved on a bleached white support via quilted stitching, with additional relief created by highlighting and shadowing by inserting cords and pellets of stuffing between layers of support. Requiring considerably more skill and dexterity to stitch than pieced quilts, works like this were conventionally regarded in Europe as more subtle and tasteful than patchwork pieces. Attributed to the 1840s, right at the tail end of the popularity of whitework in Britain and North America, the quickly stuffed foliage, and deep diagonally quilted ground are typical of talented amateur production, speaking to the narrative of women working to embellish their own homes and those of their friends and relatives with unique works.

Artist nationality: american

This work exemplifies American efforts toward domestic silk production in the early 19th century. At the time, some Americans expressed concern that the importation of luxury goods, such as silk, from Europe, did not properly showcase the nation’s greatness. Under the direction of Gertrude Rapp, members of the Harmony Society, a small pious sect of Lutheran immigrants, raised silkworms and wove silk textiles. Although members supposedly had no interest in fashion or luxury, this colorful silk velvet demonstrates their dedication to self-sufficiency.
