European Sculpture & Decorative Arts

The fifty thousand objects in the Museum's comprehensive and historically important collection of European sculpture and decorative arts reflect the development of a number of art forms in Western European countries from the early fifteenth through the early twentieth century. The holdings include sculpture in many sizes and media, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, metalwork and jewelry, horological and mathematical instruments, and tapestries and textiles. Ceramics made in Asia for export to European markets and sculpture and decorative arts produced in Latin America during this period are also included among these works.

Camellia Trellis is reimagined from an early 18th-century silk panel crafted in China for the French market. The original, now in The Met collection, is painted with delicate camellia and lotus flowers among blooming vines. Such drapeable silks, fashioned for diverse applications such as dresses, elegant fan leaves, and decorative screen panels, characterized the final phase of China’s ancient silk trade with the West.

Seraphine Embroidered Silk draws its inspiration from a luxurious robe à la française in The Met’s Costume Institute. The exemplary 18th-century British garment, crafted from hand-painted silk, with a dramatic silhouette that tapers at the waist and billows at the hips, epitomizes the insatiable baroque opulence of its era. Seraphine, in turn, captures the essence of these qualities, with its exquisite floral embroidery adorning a foundation of 100% pure silk. A true showstopper, Seraphine is the embodiment of timeless elegance, poised to stand as the centerpiece of any space.

Arms & Armor

The Met’s Department of Arms and Armor collects, preserves, researches, publishes, and exhibits distinguished examples representing the art of the armorer, swordsmith, and gunmaker. Arms and armor have been a vital part of virtually all cultures for thousands of years, pivotal not only in conquest and defense, but also in court pageantry and ceremonial events. Throughout time the best armor and weapons have represented the highest artistic and technical capabilities of the society and period in which they were made, forming a unique aspect of both art history and material culture. It is one of the most comprehensive and encyclopedic collections of its kind.

Foot-Combat Armor of Prince-Elector Christian I of Saxony

Anton Peffenhauser (German, 1525–1603)
Steel, gold, leather, copper alloy; 1591
Gift of Henry Walters, 1927   27.206a–l


Combat on foot between contestants separated by a waist-high barrier was a popular sport in European courts during the 16th and 17th centuries. Our Saxony products are inspired by the patterning on combat armor commissioned for Christian I of Augsburg during the 16th century. These gilded adornments give the work a sense of craftmanship and regal delicacy.

This design is embroidered on a linen-and-cotton fabric to emulate the decorative pattern on the armor’s breastplate. The fabric is paperbacked for the wall, and its dimensional stitching evokes a sense of delicacy compared to the strength and durability of the Museum’s armor. This stately wallcovering would make a memorable grand foyer or an elegant dining room, and coordinates with the Saxony Embellished Tape.

Gift of William H. Riggs, 1913   14.25.716b–f


The Milanese armor that inspired our Milan Diamond Grasscloth and Appliqué Tape is a unique example of Italian armor made with German influences. Created around 1510, this rare example with fluted surfaces in the German fashion is etched with Christian symbolism and references to the Bible, including images of the Virgin and Child and saints Paul and George as well as Latin inscriptions. The armor is adorned with richly gilt ornamentation that we’ve emulated in our products, which will add charm to any room they’re featured in.

This wallcovering is made of laser-cut metallic cork appliquéd on grasscloth. The mix of materials in this textile creates an interesting texture that is both eye-catching and understated.

Inspired by 16th-century German armor intended for light cavalry or infantry use, our Archduke Embroidered Tape emulates the sleek, geometric design elements on the original, which was created in 1582 by the celebrated armorer Anton Peffenhauser. The armor’s decorative motif has been reimagined with texture and dimension for an artful addition to pillows, wallcoverings, or furniture pieces.

Embroidered on a 3"-wide faux-leather ground, the tape uses padding to create dimension within a structured design.

Our Knight Wallcovering is inspired by armor with northern Italian features characteristic of Milanese or Brescian workmanship. This especially thick type was made for protection against firearms, which were becoming increasingly popular and efficient weapons. Weighing over 86 pounds, it’s one of the heaviest known examples of field armor. Before armor of this kind was completed, it was fired at with a pistol or musket to test its effectiveness against bullets, and the bullet dents were left to showcase its strength and quality.

Uniquely handmade with polymer, this wallcovering is incredibly dimensional and adds texture and shine to any room it is featured in.

Bashford Dean Memorial Collection, Gift of Helen Fahnestock Hubbard, in memory of her father, Harris C. Fahnestock, 1929   29.155.2

The intricate field and tournament armor (ca. 1565) of Johann Wilhelm, Duke of Saxe-Weimar, is a finely crafted work attributed to the leading armorer of Augsburg, Germany, Anton Peffenhauser. The elaborate etched decoration inspired the creation of our Paisley Embroidered Tape, which displays the same floral teardrop pattern in alternating colors.

It is crafted with elegant viscose embroidery on linen-and-cotton ground to replicate the armor’s detailing, and uses a tone-on-tone palette to create both contrast and consistency.

Greek & Roman Art

The Museum's collection of Greek and Roman art comprises more than thirty thousand works ranging in date from the Neolithic period (ca. 4500 B.C.) to the time of the Roman emperor Constantine's conversion to Christianity in A.D. 312. It includes the art of many cultures and is among the most comprehensive in North America. The geographic regions represented are Greece and Italy, but not as delimited by modern political frontiers: Greek colonies were established around the Mediterranean basin and on the shores of the Black Sea, and Cyprus became increasingly Hellenized. For Roman art, the geographical limits coincide with the expansion of the Roman Empire. The department also exhibits the art of prehistoric Greece (Helladic, Cycladic, and Minoan) and pre-Roman art of Italic peoples, notably the Etruscans.

Taking inspiration from a Greek drinking cup, or kylix, dating to 490–480 B.C., the Fret Mosaic Grasscloth’s Greek key motif is both timeless and elegant. A recurrent detail in ancient Greek design, the continuous meander of this iconic device symbolizes eternity and infinity.

Offered in three colorways, this wallcovering features precision-cut mica appliquéd on woven grasscloth. The Greek key has been interpreted as a dynamic allover motif. Its dimension and texture make it a refined yet eye-catching wallcovering.

Islamic Art

The Met's collection of Islamic art ranges in date from the seventh to the twenty-first century. Its more than 15,000 objects reflect the great diversity and range of the cultural traditions of Islam, with works from as far westward as Spain and Morocco and as far eastward as Central Asia and Indonesia. Comprising both sacred and secular objects, the collection reveals the mutual influence of artistic practices such as calligraphy, and the exchange of motifs such as vegetal ornament (the arabesque) and geometric patterning in both realms.

Popular among the elite of 16th-century Istanbul, kemha weaves were spectacular, large-pattern silks that were favored materials for luxury garments. Their glimmering patterns in multi-weave designs catch light and create dimension in any space.

Inspired by the textiles of the Ottoman empire, Kemha Woven is a viscose-and-cotton weave that features recurring tulip and pomegranate motifs. Originating as wildflowers indigenous to eastern Persia and western Anatolia, now Turkey, tulips became a symbol of wealth, power, and the divine, while the pomegranate served as an emblem of prosperity and abundance.

Cotton (painted resist and mordant, dyed), first quarter of the 18th century
Purchase, Fernando Family Trust Gift, in honor of Dr. Quintus and Mrs. Wimala Fernando, 2010   2010.337


In 18th-century Europe, Indian dyed cloths known as palampores were prized as hand-printed bed coverings and wall hangings. The inspiration for our pattern is a palampore featuring a flower-and-fruit-bearing serpentine tree emerging from a hillock with stylized peaks. Originally sourced to Sri Lanka, it was likely made for European communities in Batavia and Colombo, or for families of mixed European and Asian descent wishing to emulate Western taste.

The Metropolitan Palampore – Mural is a set-contained panel inside a floral border. A large serpentine tree surrounded by flora is digitally printed on non-woven paper and is a striking focal point in any room. The 14-foot-long panel can be resized for lower ceiling heights. To reduce the height of the mural, the top border may be cut off, straight under the floral garland. The center section of the mural may then be cropped to reduce it to the desired height. The top border will be placed back above the panel to sit at the top of the wall. The standard height of this wall panel is 14 feet (4.66 yards). The border height is 8.5". The bottom border and mountainous base together are 25" high. The center climbing tree section is 134.5" high. Within this section, the pattern vertical repeat is 60.5".

This pattern is also available in both a complementary fabric and wallpaper in four colorways.

Inspired by a woven scroll cover produced to accompany the Qianlong emperor’s calligraphy, the Dragon Tableau fabric celebrates the visual culture of the Qing dynasty, the last in China’s imperial history. In Chinese culture, the dragon represents good luck, strength, and health. Our textile features both a four- and five-clawed dragon—the four-clawed dragon denoting lower ranks, and the five-clawed dragon representing the emperor.

Our Dragon Tableau is a brocaded jacquard fabric that is suitable for curtains, light upholstery, and even walling.

African Art in The Michael C. Rockefeller Wing

In 1969 Nelson Rockefeller announced the gift of his collection of some five hundred works from sub-Saharan Africa to The Met. These were mostly figurative sculpture from West and Central Africa. The Michael C. Rockefeller Wing, which was built to display the collection, opened to the public in 1982, and is now temporarily closed in preparation for the exciting new renovation project which will reenvision these collections for a new generation of visitors. Since its founding, additional gifts have deepened the collection and expanded its parameters, reflecting the importance of recognizing the innovative nature of historical traditions in our own time and major idioms of visual expression ranging from textiles to Ethiopian Christian art and decorative arts from southern Africa.

Woman's Overskirt

Kuba peoples, Democratic Republic of the Congo
Raffia palm fiber, 1900 (?)
Gift of William B. Goldstein, 1999   1999.522.14


Our Kasai Velvet takes inspiration from a woman’s overskirt made by the Kuba peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kuba textiles are a long-standing tradition, significant as emblems of rank and noted for the complexity of their design and surface decoration. Featuring a raffia tabby weave, The Met’s textile is transformed into a unique, soft velvet.

Kasai Velvet adapts the geometric and linear motifs on the original for a luxe and multi-dimensional textile. Its cotton-and-viscose composition and varying pile afford both a shine and matte effect.

Egyptian Art

The Met collection of ancient Egyptian art consists of approximately 26,000 objects of artistic, historical, and cultural importance, dating from the Paleolithic to the Roman period (ca. 300,000 B.C.–A.D. 4th century). More than half of the collection is derived from the Museum's thirty-five years of archaeological work in Egypt, initiated in 1906 in response to increasing Western interest in the culture of ancient Egypt.

Broad collar of SenebtisiThe Met

Broad collar of Senebtisi

From Egypt, Middle Kingdom
Faience, gold, carnelian, turquoise; falcon heads and leaf pendants originally gilded plaster, restored in gilded silver; eyes originally gilded beads, restored in gilded plaster; ca. 1850–1775 B.C.
Rogers Fund, 1908   08.200.30


Inspired by a broad collar belonging to an ancient Egyptian noblewoman named Senebtisi, this tape mimics the brilliant colors and design intricacy seen on The Met’s adornment from the Middle Kingdom. In the early Egyptian dynasties, jewelry was made of colored pebbles. These were gradually replaced by glazed beads and semiprecious stones such as turquoise and carnelian, both of which are displayed on this collar in a linear pattern along with two falcon heads, which symbolize divine kingship.

This trim is embroidered on a linen ground with multicolor viscose and intricate beading to add depth and elegance.
