One of Post's lace flounces is a 123-inch circle of needle lace, ringed with dancing figures, pergolas and fleurs-de-lis from the court of Louis XIV. Eight near-identical flounces elsewhere are catalogued as 17th-century. Hillwood radiocarbon dated its own: it was made in the 1800s.

This is Hillwood's first show built entirely on Marjorie Merriweather Post's textiles, in the Adirondack building. It runs from a Russian saint's sarcophagus cover embroidered around 1550, through christening gowns trimmed by Post's mother and aunt, to lace, Kashmiri shawls, quilts and commemorative pieces. You keep running into Post's habit of reuse: a 1912 linen suit stripped of its embroidery, a chair upholstered in a log cabin quilt. The wall text notes she was doing that nearly ninety years before the quilt coat trend.

A conservator who prepared many pieces calls it "really about textile processes and preservation". Entry is part of Hillwood's suggested donation ($20 adults, $5 ages 6 to 18), and non-flash photography is welcome.

看點

  • The not-so-Baroque lace flounce

    Look for the 123-inch circle of needle lace with dancing figures, celestial scenes and armour; radiocarbon dating moved it from Louis XIV's reign to the 1800s.

  • Sabbatius of Tver's sarcophagus cover

    The saint's face and beard are worked in dense satin stitch around 1550, set on a 1794 brocade of metallic-thread artichokes and vines.

  • The Grand Duchess pendant

    A tiny oval needlepoint of crinolined figures before Baroque buildings, found in Post's Roentgen desk with her note: "very fine needle work & photo Grand Duchess."

  • Manca Ahlin's The Bloom-ing Egg

    An oversize hanging egg of jute lace and resin, made with Hillwood's Russian Easter eggs in mind; her small lace eggs are in the mansion's Icon Room.

  • The quilt chair

    A Camp Topridge chair Post upholstered in a log cabin quilt, shown beside a surviving fragment of the quilt itself.
