Rose Standish Nichols was a textile artist, stitching throughout her life. Profoundly influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement ideal that we should surround ourselves with beautiful handcrafted objects, Rose embroidered items she used everyday, bringing color and ornamentation to her domestic spaces. She was also a collector, acquiring historic textiles that informed her work and enlivened her home. Dress and Textile Historian Elizabeth Weisblatt will lead a focused look at highlights of the Nichols House Museum textile collection, featuring items both created and collected by Rose Nichols.


The Nichols House Museum on Boston's historic Beacon Hill was home to an early 20th-century family of artists and social activists. Preserved as a museum by Rose Standish Nichols, a pioneering woman landscape architect, the house is furnished with an original collection, including sculpture by Augustus Saint-Gaudens and Arts and Crafts pieces created by members of the Nichols family.
