Quillwork Sconce. Culture: American. Dimensions: 30 x 14 in. (76.2 x 35.6 cm). Maker: Eunice Deering. Date: 1720-40.A fragile form of handiwork, quillwork consists of narrow strips of paper rolled into tiny scrolls and glued, one against the other, within a shadow-box frame to form a design. In this case, sconces for candles were attached to the front of each frame, and the glittering mica-covered quillwork magnified and reflected the candlelight. This sconce and its mate (48.158.12) was made by Eunice Deering of Kittery, Maine and is still in its original frame. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
