Arthur G Merkley was a talented creator known for his exquisite textile designs and stoneware creations. His artistic prowess shines through in pieces like the Red and White Table Napkin, c. 1939, where he skillfully weaves together bold colors to create a visually striking pattern. In his Coverlet, c. 1939, Merkley showcases his mastery of craftsmanship by intricately stitching together threads to form an elegant and cozy blanket that exudes warmth and comfort. One cannot help but be captivated by the Red and White Napkin (Deer Design), 1935 / 1942, which features a charming deer motif meticulously incorporated into its design, and is a testament to Merkley's ability to infuse nature-inspired elements into functional art. Merkley's patriotic spirit comes alive in the Red, White & Blue Coverlet, c. 1940. This stunning piece embodies American pride with its vibrant hues and meticulous attention to detail. The Table Napkin, c. 1940 reflects Merkley's versatility as an artist as he effortlessly transitions from bold patterns to more subtle designs while maintaining impeccable quality. His Tyler Coverlet, c. 1940 showcases Merkley's talent for creating intricate geometric patterns that are both visually captivating and structurally sound. Not limited to textiles alone, Merkley also ventured into pottery with his Stoneware Teapot from 1935 / 1942—a true masterpiece that combines functionality with aesthetic appeal. With Jacquard from the same period, Arthur G Merkley demonstrates his ability to push boundaries by experimenting with different weaving techniques resulting in mesmerizing textures and patterns. The Red and White Napkin from c. 1941 exhibits yet another example of how Merkely seamlessly blends color combinations while paying attention to every minute detail—creating pieces that are truly one-of-a-kind.
