Sash
1800-1820 (made)
Artist/Maker | |
Place of origin |
Sash of painted silk. Woven silk in a slightly ribbed tabby and with narrow satin edges. The lower end is cut in a curve, and the upper end is severed just above a painted motif. Painted with a bunch of rose-buds, repeated facing in alternate directions seven time on this sash. Although from the same pattern, the hand-painting makes each of these bunches individual, particularly noticeable in the different placings of one or two stems with brown spines and tendrils on the calyx in place of the various shades of green otherwise used. All the rosebuds, six in each bunch, are painted in shades of pink and red.
