The American Decorative Arts Forum would very much like to be on your March 2011 calendar for this upcoming lecture by the distinguished Dr. David Barquist.
The 17th and 18th centuries, “looking glass” was the common name for “mirrors”, which were costly luxuries in the pre-industrial period. Dr. David Barquist, curator of decorative arts for the Philadelphia Museum of Art , in his illustrated presentation to the American Decorative Arts Forum, documents their usage in American Interiors for the 17th to the mid-19th centuries following fashions set in Europe. In addition to reflecting the light, looking glasses were a very important status symbol and a significant element of high-style American Interiors.

The patterns were inspired by traditional molas and other artifacts collected by William Randolph Hearst on a Panamanian trip he took in the 1920′s. Transitional designs in fresh vibrant color combinations, woven with 100% solution dyed Sunbrella yarns make this collection appropriate for a broad range of applications.
