The Metropolitan Museum of Art American Folk Art Landscape Oblong Scarf
95,00 USD
Description
The bucolic scene on our scarf is borrowed from a spectacularly upholstered easy chair in The Met collection. Easy chairs-with their downy cushions and wings on which to rest the head-were often made for the elderly or infirm. This chair, dated 1758 and inscribed by one Caleb Gardner (American, died 1761), is exemplary for its elaborate Irish-stitch needlework and remarkable condition.
