157.95 USD
An art scarf inspired by The Met collection. The fruiting, flowering vines embroidered on this charming shawl recall the 18th-century embroidery embellishing a bedcover housed in The Met's American Wing. Original embroidered textiles from this period in American history are rare; most extant examples are preserved in museums, and many others were repurposed to salvage the artisan's work. The vines on the Museum's bedcover were likely transferred from a set of bed curtains, perhaps during the 19th-century Colonial Revival movement. The bedcover appears to be an heirloom of the Cabot family, who resided in Salem, Massachusetts, at the time the embroidery was made around 1760. Click

The Metropolitan Museum of Art British Flowering Vines Embroidered Oblong Scarf
157.95 USD
Gift an art scarf inspired by The Met collection. The intricate embroidery on this eye-catching scarf pays tribute to a spectacular British coif-a type of snugly fitting cap-in The Met's European Sculpture and Decorative Arts collection. Patterns of birds, insects, and flowers enveloped by scrolling vines, or "rinceaux," were immensely popular during the late 16th and early 17th centuries; by the 1580s, portraits of Queen Elizabeth I and her courtiers were depicting the sitters wearing richly embroidered sleeves decorated with an early monochrome version of this pattern, which may derive from similar motifs found in Islamic Spain. Crafted in the early 17th century, the Museum's colorful linen adornment is embellished with metal thread and sparkling sequins. To find inspiration for how to style this scarf, read our blog post
