hideback:Hector Guimard (French, 1867-1942)Handkerchief and Tray, 1909Hector Guimard created this linen and silk handkerchief as a wedding gift for his wife, Adeline. Her initials, AG, are embroidered in the corner. When Hector died in 1942, Adeline tried to establish a museum in his honor in Paris. But his work was considered old-fashioned and obscure, and her efforts were refused. She chose to donate gems like this 12-inch handkerchief to an American museum instead. -- source link
