Carpet Fragment. Dimensions: Textile: H. 22 in. (55.9 cm)W. 11.5 in. (29.2cm)Mount: H. 27 1/2 in. (69.9 cm)W. 12 1/2 in. (31.8 cm). Date: 14th-15th century.This irregular-shaped fragment is decorated with rows of hook motifs and stylized leaves in dark blue, green, and yellow on a red ground. This design once was repeated on a larger surface to fill the main field of an Anatolian carpet. The geometric aspect of the composition relates this fragment to the earlier period (13th-14th centuries; Seljuq and Beyliq periods) of which only few examples survive. The interlocking hocked motifs, however, - probably stylized vine scrolls - connect it with later carpets (for example, the famous Lotto carpets from the sixteenth-seventeenth centuries), that were woven in western Anatolia under the Ottomans.

Embroidered Sampler: Starr Coat of Arms ca. 1775 Sarah Starr This unusual sampler, which seems to date from the 1770s, proves that well-to-do families in areas less cosmopolitan than Boston also fell under the spell of heraldry. There were three Sarah Starrs of Middletown, Connecticut, who could have been this sampler's maker: Sarah Starr Ruggles Potter (b. 1760), Sarah Starr Bailey (b. 1763), or Sarah Starr Lathrop (b. 1759). Many members of the extended Starr family resided in Middletown during the eighteenth century; some of the men worked as merchants, perhaps indicated by the scales in the central crest, while others were in shipping..
