Abstract

The presence of thirty-three Russian head-dresses, as well as other historical objects, in the collection of the American diplomat, George Wurts, and his wife, Henrietta Tower, is an uncommon example of collecting Russian folk objects abroad, and testifies to a universality of taste in international collecting during the late nineteenth century. The head-dress collection is part of a larger collection of around 4,000 pieces dating from antiquity to the early twentieth century, which was assembled at the Palazzo Antici Mattei and the Villa Sciarra in Rome between the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century. Wurts and Tower had a particular interest in arts and crafts, which was enabled by Wurts’s career as a diplomat and secretary at the American mission in St. Petersburg for a period of ten years (1882-93). This article describes the key characteristics of the Wurts-Tower collection of folk objects, the circumstances of its formation, and its relation to the tendencies of taste during that time. It also testifies to the transformation of the kokoshnik in the eyes of collectors and viewers from a popular costume to a fashion accessory that was linked to a past world.
俄罗斯在罗马
在美国外交官乔治·沃茨(George Wurts)和他的妻子亨丽埃塔·塔(Henrietta Tower)的收藏中,有33件俄罗斯头巾和其他历史物品,这是在国外收集俄罗斯民间物品的一个不寻常的例子,也证明了19世纪后期国际收藏的普遍品味。头饰收藏是一个更大的收藏的一部分,大约有4000件藏品,从古代到20世纪初,这些藏品是在19世纪末到20世纪初在罗马的antii Mattei Palazzo antii Mattei和Villa Sciarra收集的。伍尔茨和塔对艺术和手工艺特别感兴趣,这得益于伍尔茨在美国驻圣彼得堡使团担任外交官和秘书十年(1882-93)的职业生涯。本文描述了Wurts-Tower民间物品收藏的主要特征,它的形成情况,以及它与当时的品味倾向的关系。这也证明了在收藏家和观众眼中,kokoshnik从一种流行的服装转变为一种与过去世界联系在一起的时尚配饰。
