Hunt & Habit
January 12 - April 21, 2013
Textile Gallery Exhibit
The Charleston Museum presents an original exhibition, Hunt & Habit in the museum’s Historic Textiles Gallery. Hunt & Habit includes women’s and men’s riding habits, hats and accessories from the 19th and early 20th century. Setting the background for the garments is a beautiful early 19th century hunt board which could be carried to the porch for breakfast service, laden with Lowcountry favorites. Guns, typical of those used in local hunts, a side-saddle and period equestrian fashion plates round out the display

Each Tuesday we post a piece from our textile collection. Some items have been on exhibit, some will eventually be shown in our new Historic Textiles Gallery and some may be just too fragile to display. We hope you enjoy our selection each week – do let us know if there’s something in particular you’d like to see on TEXTILE TUESDAY! #TextileTuesday
