- Lot Description
Korean, late 19th century. An embroidery with Korean characters, originally part of a four-panel embroidered screen, but this panel is the only one surviving. This type of embroidered panel was typically a palace product; 47.5 x 13.25 in. (sight), 55 x 20.5 in. (frame).
Purportedly, this item was originally owned by Horace Newton Allen, an Ohio native who went to Korea as a medical missionary in 1884. In 1890, he was appointed secretary to the American Legation in Seoul. There, he became acquainted with Emperor Gojong, who would have gifted the panels to him. The item was also previously owned by the granddaughter of Jospeh Foraker, former Governor of Ohio (1886-1890) and Ohio Senator (1897-1909). Allen and Foraker both traveled in the same political circles, and the embroidery may have been given to Foraker by Allen, and then descended in the Foraker family.
