Lot Essay

The Papardelle consists of a long flexible strip of woven steel which may be unfurled to create a carpet extension, or rolled to create a footrest. Examples of the Papardelle are retained in the permanant collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City.
