Sleeve

Unknown artist

The dress sleeve included in a collection of textiles and garments with great cultural historical value from the estate VargKra in Riala parish, Uppland. The Bird’s Home VargsF, 1/4 mantal, belonged to the estate of Östanå until 1754 when the farmer Anders Mattsson and his wife Sara Jöransdotter changed to the estate and moved there. The new owners and their descendants then used the farm for just under 200 years, when in 1952 Vargsättwas sold out of the genera. In the 1860s, the estate’s then owner Matts Ersson and his wife Anna Brita Andersdotter built a new two-storey “superstructure,” on the site where it had previously stood. This is one of several examples that show that Vargsande farmers followed their time and were open to news and changes. In an older house next to the new mansion building, more specifically on the windmill undet takeoff, several generations of walking clothes were stored after they finally served as useful garments. It is very important to remember that the immense wear and the next unimaginable extent that patching and cooking has is not signs of poverty. It instead shows old principles of household and peasant society’s view of use and reuse. Any clothing that has been thrown up on the windmill instead of being burned, seems to have served out as far as possible. The clothes in the collection can be stylishly and fashionably tied to a coherent period from the second half of the 17th century and just over a hundred years ahead. This means that the clothes also reflect how some readable fashion styles have come and gone. Here are traits of rococo, drag, biedermeier, nyrococo and the style mixtures of the late 1800s. However, the largest part of the collection is from the middle of the 18th century. Socket from Åker’s ship, Riala parish. Donated 26 January 1979 from Brita Öhrn, Vargva ra, Riala parish, Uppland.
