Certainly one of the most unique textiles in the Stella Collection, this Germantown-style weaving includes design elements from the Classic Period (1800-1880), Eyedazzler movement, and individualistic creativity. The outer portion of the textile features Classic-era design composition: crosses within fields of crimson red yarns. The middle design field displays hallmark designs in Eyedazzlers: large geometric and multi-banded criss-crosses with serrated edges, creating energy and movement. The center’s pink and purple diamond design reveals the work of a weaver confidently experimenting with color combinations, creating an original and unique work of art.
