The Metropolitan Museum of Art Chinese Dragon Rank Badge Apron and Tea Towel Set

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Four Seasons Paisley Square Wool Scarf
132.95 USD
An art scarf inspired by The Met collection. In the early 19th century, luxurious shawls from Kashmir became indispensable fashion accessories for the stylish European woman. The patterns on these costly, hand-woven shawls generally incorporated the boteh form, an ancient Persian motif based on the tree of life. By the midcentury, machine-made reproductions were being produced with popularity in Europe. Paisley, which is derived from the boteh design, gets its name from the Scottish town that produced many of these shawls until they fell out of favor in the 1870s. A mid-19th-century French or Scottish example in The Met collection, presenting a "four seasons" layout swirling around a central point, informs our stylish wool interpretation with self-fringe edges.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Gujarat Diamond-Pattern Merino Wool Scarf

The original design, reminiscent of motifs found in Jain manuscripts and architecture from the Indian province of Gujarat, is well preserved thanks to the arid Egyptian climate.

A Bouquet of Flowers (ca. 1612), housed at The Met, showcases the artist's keen eye for detail-in the way of reflective dewdrops, little insect bites, and drooping petals evocative of transience and decay-and reveals the close connection between botanical illustration and still-life painting, both of which became popular during the Scientific Revolution. Peeters was a founding figure in the history of European still-life painting, an especially attractive genre to women artists who weren't permitted to study nude models.
