Metropolitan Museum of Art, American Folk Art Landscape Modal / Cashmere Blend, 72" x 26"
The bucolic scene on this Met 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.
