EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Carriage Sunshade, created by American artist Arelia Arbo in 1937, is a stunning example of handicraft art from the 20th century. The sunshade, which measures approximately 25 x 25 inches, is a period item that transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s. The sunshade is made of ivory-colored hand-carved wood, intricately adorned with floral designs and ornamental details. The handle, carved in the shape of a graceful lady's hand holding an astral parasol, adds to the sunshade's elegant and feminine appeal. Arbo's sunshade is a conceptual work of art that combines functionality and aesthetics. It features a detailed solar system design, with the sun at the center and planets arranged around it. The sunshade's parasol canopy is decorated with intricate lace and features a watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paper design of the night sky. The sunshade's design reflects the artist's interest in both fashion and science, making it a unique and intriguing piece. This Carriage Sunshade is an important addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on American art, fashion, or transportation. It is a testament to the rich heritage of handicrafts and the artistic ingenuity of the past. The sunshade is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as part of the Index of American Design, a collection that documents the material culture of the United States from the colonial period to the 1940s.
