WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE ARMBAND OR HATBAND, 1910-20:
Suffragette armband or hat band, made from yellow felted wool with black lettering that reads: "Votes for Women". Suffragette textiles are particularly scarce and sought-after and these long, narrow examples make for very interesting objects when conserved and framed. They could be clipped as desired and worn wherever the owner deemed fit, usually wrapped around one's arm or encircling the brim of a ladies hat.
Golden yellow was the customary color of the suffrage movement in America, coupled with a variety of subordinate colors, primarily black on felt textiles. Violet and green were the traditional colors of the women's movement in England.
Mounting: The solid walnut molding dates to the period between 1860 and 1880, retains its original gilded liner and early, black varnished surface. The textile has been hand-stitched to a background of 100% hemp. Spacers keep the textile away from the glazing, which is U.V. protective glass. |
