EDITORS COMMENTS
This antimacassar print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of Victorian bourgeois taste and the intricacies of daily life during the 19th century. The antimacassar, a woollen accessory intended for placement on furniture to protect against the damaging effects of macassar oil, has become an archetypal symbol of this era. Macassar oil, a widely used hair dressing during this period, was known for its ability to give a high shine and luster to hair. However, its application often left furniture susceptible to unsightly stains and damage. The antimacassar, with its delicate yet sturdy design, provided a practical solution to this common problem. This particular antimacassar, showcased in the print, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship of the time. The intricate patterns and designs, often inspired by nature or the latest fashion trends, were carefully woven into the woollen fabric to create a visually appealing and functional accessory. The antimacassar not only served a practical purpose but also added an element of elegance and sophistication to the Victorian home. Its presence on furniture was a clear sign of the homeowner's commitment to maintaining a clean and well-appointed household. This print, believed to be from circa 1865, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the intricacies of Victorian life. It serves as a reminder of the importance of practicality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail in the everyday objects that surrounded people during this period. The antimacassar, once an essential accessory for protecting furniture from the damaging effects of macassar oil, has now become an intriguing piece of historical significance.
