The Metropolitan Museum of Art Decorative Accents*Marbled Paper Rectangular Lacquer Frame

A Met Museum Souvenir For The Home Or Office.

The Centuries-Old Practice Of Marbling Paper Yields Astounding Patterns, Such As Faith Harrison’S Wave (1988), Featured On This Lacquer Frame. Some Marbled Designs Are Spontaneous, Others Are Controlled; And While Techniques Vary Between Cultures, Marbling Typically Refers To A Method Of Transferring Colors From The Surface Of A Water Bath Onto A Piece Of Paper. This Tradition Is Carried Forth By The Contemporary Artists Represented In The Paper Legacy Project, An Initiative Spearheaded By The Museum’S Thomas J. Watson Library To Preserve And Promote The “Golden Age” Of American Decorated Paper.
