Byzantine motifs adorn fine silk clothing, exceptional needle lace is on the edges of almost every textile, and everything was designed with luxury in mind. This is a glimpse into a wooden 1897 chest containing items belonging to Aroussiag Iskian, Anahid Iskian, and Marie Iskian Tevonian. The collection illustrates what a more well-to-do Armenian family might own during the late 19th and early 20th century. Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian highlights a few items from this thoughtfully organized family heirloom collection.
