GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This finely worked cotton net curtain panel, unlike most textiles of the Craftsman Workshops, is composed of entirely abstracted, geometric forms. This panel was produced in Gustav Stickley’s Boston workshop and showroom, which opened in 1908—the same year in which this design was published in The Craftsman. Stickley sold his works through dozens of retailers across the United States, as well as in his firm’s branch stores in Boston, Washington, D.C., and New York.

NOTES
TMS Updates - GeoXrefsworked in (Theresa Lundblad)
I added Theresa Lundblad as maker in the Constituents field based on letter from Shannon Aaron to Susan Green (dated September 23, 1998, copy in Collections Records Object File).
I changed the medium from "Cotton and linen" to "Cotton and silk" based on "Examination and Proposed Treatment Report" prepared by The Textile Conservation Workshop, Inc. (dated March 31, 1998, copy in Collection Records Object File), which states: "Identification by polarized light microscopy: the ground is cotton, the embroidery thread is silk."
Adaptation to label copy:
- Medium changed from "linen" to "cotton" based on the above document.
- "This panel was purchased in Stickley's Boston store" changed to "This panel was produced in Stickley's Boston workshop and showroom" based on above letter, which indicates that maker Theres Lundblad was employed as a bookkeeper, salesclerk, and later needleworker at the Boston location.
I updated Provenance and Published References in TMS.
