Textiles

In this video, Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian shows us the oldest non-religious textile in our collection which is a silk scarf that was presented as a wedding gift in the late 1700's. There are also two other lace pieces that are from the early 1900's which demonstrate typical Armenian styles of floral embroidery.
