Wild-aster textile
Not on view
Although this fabric came into the Museum’s collection without any documented connection to Candace Wheeler (1827-1923) or her firm, Associated Artists, it nevertheless may be their work since they are the only nineteenth-century textile firm that is known to have designed patterns for discharge printing on blue denim. Like the other discharge-printed fabrics in the company’s oeuvre, this floral pattern is Japanese in feel. Associated Artists commonly embellished its printed denims with silk embroidery highlights like the French knots in the centers of these asters.
