"Antique Carpets Through the Eyes of W. Parsons Todd"

November 15, 2015 - April 10, 2016
"Antique Carpets Through the Eyes of W. Parsons Todd"
"Antique Carpets Through the Eyes of W. Parsons Todd" will feature 17 carpets, rarely on display, together with a selection of books and photographs that informed serious carpet collectors during the first half of the twentieth century. W. Parsons Todd (1877-1976), founder of Macculloch Hall, was an esteemed collector with an eye for fine rugs. Todd was an early member and served as an officer of the International Hajji Baba Society, a group of collectors and scholars dedicated to the study of fine textiles. Todd also amassed a library of fine books on the subject of antique carpets
including, Oriental Carpets, a portfolio of photographs published in 1891 by the Imperial Royal Austrian Commercial Museum, Vienna. Beautiful in their own right, these books and photographs are invaluable for the information they offer into patterns of collecting early in the twentieth century. On view from November 15, 2015 through April 10, 2016.

"Antique Carpets through the Eyes of W. Parsons Todd" is made possible, in part, by the generous support of J&S Designer Flooring.

This program is supported by, in part, by the F. M. Kirby Foundation. Macculloch Hall Historical Museum is a nonprofit educational affiliate of the W. Parsons Todd Foundation and received an operating support grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the New Jersey Department of State.
