In this episode of “Closer Look,” Edie Paczkowski, Ayesha Bulchandani Education Intern, discusses the rare “Carpet with Trees” on display on the third floor of Frick Madison. Edie traces the carpet’s journeys from Mughal India to Europe and the United States, paying homage to the skilled weavers and conservators who, separated by centuries, have allowed us to enjoy this splendid work of art. This is the first episode in a series of three, featuring the Education Department's 2023 summer interns each taking an in-depth look at one object in our collection.
