Edging French or British late 19th century The Metropolitan Museum's great lace collection was started when the Museum became the first among American museums to organize a permanent collection of lace with the acceptance of the McCallum Collection in 1879 and the bequests of Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Robert L. Stuart, Mrs. Augustus Cleveland, and Mrs. A. W. Winters shortly thereafter. In 1893 a loan collection of antique laces shown at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago was assembled by a committee of New York women headed by Catharine Augusta Newbold. About 1900 Miss Newbold arranged and labeled an exhibition of laces and linenworks lent to the Metropolitan Museum by Mrs. James Boorman Johnstone and the Misses Johnstone. "Her scholarly knowledge of lace technique enabled the Museum for the first time to offer a comprehensive display of lace illustrating its historical development," wrote Miss Frances Morris, then curator of the textile department. Miss Newbold's name occur

Vertical panels with garland designed 1758-67, woven 1764-71 General conception by Jacques Germain Soufflot The Tapestry Room from Croome Court, Worcestershire, the seat of the Earls of Coventry, was begun in 1763 and finished in 1771. The sixth Earl of Coventry (1722-1809) commissioned these tapestries for Croome Court from Jacques Neilson's workshop at the Royal Gobelins Manufactory in Paris in August 1763. Portraying scenes from classical myths symbolizing the elements, the medallions are based on designs by François Boucher. The set was delivered and in place by June 1771. The group was the first using this design to be woven with a crimson background and it may have been the first made specifically to extend around four walls of a room without architectural frames..

Bed curtain border first quarter 19th century Russian This object is from the collection of Natalia de Shabelsky (1841-1905), a Russian noblewoman compelled to preserve what she perceived as the vanishing folk art traditions of her native country. Traveling extensively throughout Great Russia, she collected many fine examples of textile art of the wealthy peasant class. From the 1870s until moving to France in 1902, Shabelsky amassed a large collection of intricately embroidered hand-woven household textiles and opulent festival garments with rich decoration and elaborate motifs. The Brooklyn Museum holdings include many fine examples including the majority of the garments. Portions of Shabelsky's collection are also housed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Cleveland Art Museum, and the Russian Museum of Ethnography in St. Petersburg.This beautiful example of folk embroidery seems to incorporate a narrative, including two interesting building structures.

Quarry (one of a pair) early 16th century British, possibly Surrey In the fifteenth century, diamond-shaped quarries” (possibly from the French carré, for square) became popular within both domestic and clerical settings. These small panes were often emblazoned with heraldic motifs and set within a larger design of stained glass. This pair features one of the many royal badges of the English King, Henry VII: a crowned, thorny sprig of hawthorn, flanked by the initials ‘H’ and ‘E’ for Henry and his queen, Elizabeth of York. According to legend, the Tudor Henry VII found the royal crown in a hawthorn bush, after triumphing over his predecessor, Richard III, at the Battle of Bosworth Field during the Wars of the Roses. As a later writer would acknowledge, the emblem carried symbolic weight, as the crown came with thornes of heavie care.” The same device appeared—and can still be found—in royally patronized projects, such as the vibrant stained glass of King’s College Chapel, Cambridge.
