Elegant Georgians exhibition is rare
The Elegant Georgians exhibition at The Folk and Costume Museum has drawn much praise and admiration for its content and rare examples of exquisite Georgian craftsmanship.
As if lit by candlelight, lustrous silks and embroidery contrast with delicate shadows emphasising design and form. The main exhibition focuses on one day in Guernsey's social history – 16th April 1759 – the wedding of Marie de Carteret and Jean Guille which took place at St. George, the country estate of the wealthy Guille family. Supported by paintings kindly loaned by Museums and Galleries, and a secondary exhibition of gentlemens' waistcoasts and vests of the period, we are proud to present an exhibition of the most historic and, some might say, the most beautiful items in our extensive costume collection, some of which date to the early 1700s.
