From the intricate Calico designs of 1920 to the timeless beauty of Embroidery with the Depiction of the Allegory of Time, these artworks tell stories through threads. Silk fabric adorned with silver thread and brocaded patterns takes us back to Calico in 1888, where elegance met craftsmanship. The delicate touch on silk fabric creates a mesmerizing effect, capturing attention and admiration. Moving forward to the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, we encounter more stunning Calico's artistry. Each piece showcases meticulous attention to detail, reflecting an era when textile arts flourished. But they can not limited by time or geography. A rendering of a Persian dervish carpet from the 17th century transports us to ancient Persia, where vibrant colors and intricate patterns were woven together in harmony. Traveling further east brings us to China, where ceremonial robes held great significance. Rank badges worn by sixth rank Chinese civil servants exemplify both artistic expression and social status. In America, Harriet Powers created a masterpiece in quilt form in 1886. Her Bible scenes quilt stands as a testament to her talent as well as her identity as an African American woman during a challenging period in history.
