Object type: rapier
Date: 1620 – 1620
Materials: silver, steel
Culture: spanish

The rapier was the principal civilian sidearm throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Designed for cut-and-thrust fencing of progressively complex techniques, the rapier is characterized by a double-edged blade with an acute point and an elaborate guard for the hand. The guards, usually of iron or steel, were subject to a variety of embellishment. They were engraved, chiseled, gilded, damascened, and encrusted in gold and silver in keeping with fashionable styles. Unless otherwise noted, the materials, attributions, and dating given here refer to the hilts. Rapier blades, invariably of steel, bear a variety of maker’s marks denoting their origin in the two principal centers of blademaking, Toledo in Spain and Solingen in Germany.

This beautifully fashioned composition, possibly based on scenery in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, is part of a group of such works in pencil or charcoal that Richards executed in the early 1860s. Some were made as designs for his paintings of woodland interiors made during the Civil War years, others were done as independent drawings or possibly for display in his studio as advertisements for commissions. In 1863, the year this drawing was made, Richards was elected a member of the Society for the Advancement of Truth in Art, which comprised the American followers of John Ruskin. The exceptional dexterity and tonal range in this drawing presages the remarkable craftsmanship Richards brought to watercolor in the 1870s.

Cope
Object type: cope
Date: 1701 – 1800
Materials: metal thread, silk

Sumptuous fabrics without any particular religious imagery were often used to make ecclesiastical vestments. This cope, in its original state, is composed of four full and two partial widths of a handsome red silk satin with an asymmetrical floral pattern, shown here in detail. The same fabric is used for the orphrey band, the morse, and the hood, which are, in addition to the cope as a whole, bordered in metallic lace. The hood is trimmed with an additional band of metallic lace and three bows of brocaded ribbon. The various floral and design elements of the main fabric, as well as the pattern organization in general, can be related to Italian textiles, particularly Venetian silks of the fifteenth century. The asymmetrical undulating composition and motifs of stylized blossoms, pomegranate buds with superimposed rosettes, and multilobed leaves with rounded edges are all inspired by the earlier fabrics. Also similar is the combination of solid-color ground with pattern in glowing metallic thread. The familiar motif of the opened pomegranate is borrowed from yet another group of Italian Renaissance silks and velvets. More specific to the eighteenth century is the device of "threading" together flowers and leaves of diverse types on one thin stem. This motif appears in the so-called bizarre silks, which are often thought to be of Italian manufacture and are contemporary with the cope. Elegant and enigmatic, this unusual example of early eighteenth-century textile arts adds another dimension to the study of fabrics of the period.

Bottle with Peony Scroll
Object type: bottle
Date: 1334 – 1366
Materials: cobalt, glaze, porcelain
Techniques: painting
Culture: chinese
Subjects: peonies,leaves

The structured surface of this bottle ultimately derives from the Islamic cultures of West Asia. The designs painted on the surface of the bottle also illustrate the complicated ties between China and other regions in the fourteenth century: the patterns on the neck parallel the cloud-collar designs often found in textiles and clothing in China and the Islamic world; the scrolling peonies that decorate the center of the bottle derive from longstanding Chinese traditions; and the stylized lotus petals on the base allude to imagery found in Indo-Himalayan art.

Bead
Object type: bead
Date: 701 – 1300
Materials: ceramic
Location: iran

This object was excavated at Nishapur. Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. These itineraries are often referred to by the term ‘Silk routes’ but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur – from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and architectural fragments. Nishapur lost its political prominence due to a series of earthquakes and invasions that peaked in the thirteenth century. Today, the medieval city is a vast archaeological area, while the relatively small modern city is situated to its north. Instead Mashhad, a major pilgrimage site, emerged as a major prosperous metropolis in the region. Between 1935 and 1948, the "Persian Expedition" of the Metropolitan Museum of Art excavated at several sites at Nishapur under an agreement with the Iranian authorities. American archaeologists and hundreds of Iranian workers excavated archaeological areas named Tepe Madrasa, Village Tepe, Sabz Pushan, Qanat Tepe, Tepe Alp Arslan, Vineyard Tepe, among others. They uncovered vast neighborhoods with mostly residential buildings, but also mosques, bathhouses, and possibly a governmental palace. Two main chronological phases were recognized in the sites: the first covers the ninth-tenth centuries and the second covers the eleventh-twelfth centuries. Thousands of artifacts were also recovered, mostly ceramic, glass, metal, and stone vessels, as well as carved and painted stuccoes and wall paintings, which were divided in half between the two countries, resulting in over four thousand objects in the Met’s collection today.

A Girl with Flowers on the Grass

Artist role: draughtsman, painter, print maker

Subjects: flowers, girl (child between toddler and youth), child and nature (games and plays)
Inscriptions: signature: ‘J Maris’

A girl in a white dress, viewed from the side, is sitting on the grass holding a bouquet of wild flowers. The blue of the flowers is echoed in the bow in her hair and her shoes. It was probably one of Maris’s daughters who modelled for this idyllic scene. The atmosphere and the style of painting recalls the work of 19th-century French Impressionists such as Claude Monet and veers away from Maris’s usual grey palette.

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.
