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.Russian bed curtains and towels were not only used for decorative purposes, but also provided an impoHeadcloth(Limar)Rug; End of the 19th century (1890-00-00-1900-00-00);rugSampler, Medium: cotton embroidery, linen foundation Technique: cross, satin, back, running, eyelet, and twisted chain stitches on plain weave, Sampler divided into three vertical panels, each filled with border designs and floral ornaments.

Japan, 19th century. Plain compound satin; silk; overall: 55.9 x 73.7 cm (22 x 29 in.).Carpet probably late 18th-early 19th century The design of this carpet is dominated by a pair of large octagons inscribed by star motifs radiating from smaller central octogons. This type of composition, which has been favored by Turkish carpet weavers since the fifteenth century, derives from the layout of "Holbein" carpets, named after a depiction of a similar work in a famous portrait by the sixteenth-century German painter Hans Holbein the Younger. The powerful geometric forms impart an unusually strong artistic impact on this work of such modest size.. Carpet 452581Joined Fragments early 19th century. Joined Fragments 443015Vase-technique Carpet with Overlapping Cartouches 17th century The tightly controlled pattern of compartments is formed by overlapping cartouches, which are exceptionally varied in coloring and adorned with finely drawn palmettes growing from a vine system. In its floral forms, technical structure, and rich color scheme, this carpet is related to the so-called Vase carpets, believed to have been made in Kirman in southern Iran. Its unusual design of cartouches, however, is also found in two "Polonaise" silk carpets that have been attributed to central Iran.. Vase-technique Carpet with Overlapping Cartouches. 17th century. Cotton (warp), silk (weft), wool (weft and pile); asymmetrically knotted pile. Made in Iran, probably Kirman or Isfahan.

Date: second half 16th century.The scenes depicted on this carpet may allude to the bazm, or the feast that followed the battle in Iranian history and literature. In the central medallion, a group of beardless seated men are drinking, talking, and playing music, while four standing figures hold goats, perhaps in anticipation of the banquet. The vignettes of predators attacking or stalking prey signify ideas of dominance, thus relating to the razm, or battle. The figures' turbans, with their low kulahs, or caps, indicate that the carpet was produced after the early Safavid taj, or cap with a high baton-like extension, had fallen out of fashion. Carpets from this period were usually woven in pairs, and The Met has a possible companion for this piece. Thirty-seven patches and adhesive were removed from the reverse and replaced with underlay support fabric. Museum: Metropolitan MTextile 1800-1850 Russian. Textile. Russian. 1800-1850. Silk.
