Salon Series VI
Join us for our next Salon with Dr. Danielle Kinsey, Assistant Professor at Carleton University for her talk on "Diamonds and “Exotic” Goods Consumption in Britain, 1750-1830". In this talk, Kinsey will focus on diamonds and show how it wasn’t a simple case of a product associated with “the East” becoming Westernized but a more complicated dynamic where diamonds could be understood to be foreign, exotic, domestic, modern, traditional, scientific, romantic, good and evil all at once.

From the Vault
This pair of shoes, with its rounded toe, narrow heel and lack of white rand, dates to the 1760s. The fabric, however, dates to earlier in the century. It is an example of what came to be called ‘bizarre’ silk.
