This #MuseumMonday highlights Charles Deering's tapestry collection. Charles Deering, balanced industrial leadership with a sustained commitment to art, preservation, and cultural support in Chicago, Europe, and Miami. At his Maricel estate in Sitges, Spain, large European and Spanish tapestries, such as the Story of Caesar and Cleopatra, were installed as integral architectural elements, reflecting the period’s use of tapestries as markers of status and domestic design. As these works became harder to maintain, many were eventually transferred to museums. After Deering’s death in 1927, his daughters donated most of his collection, including tapestries, to the Art Institute of Chicago, extending his legacy. At the Deering Estate in Miami, textiles also played a central role in the Stone House interiors.

Pictured here: an interior view of Maricel showing three Story of Caesar and Cleopatra tapestries, photographed by José Martino Arroyo in 1918.

To learn more about Charles Deering's collection, visit the Historic Richmond Cottage the Deering Estate, open daily from 10 AM to 4 PM.

We are proud to be a Blue Star Museum. Active military personnel and their families can visit Deering Estate for free through September 7 (Labor Day). We appreciate your service and look forward to hosting you.
