Description: Linen sampler embroidered with polychrome silks in cross-stitch. All the edges are hemmed. The design of the sampler is a combination of stylized geometric motifs and a large naturalistic cockerel worked on the right-hand side of the piece. Textural interest is achieved by the judicious mixing of cross-stitch over single and double threads. The central lozenge shape contains the initials 'P.C.O.' (horizontally) and 'J.C.G' (vertically). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | Unidentified embroidery sampler | Temporal: | name=mid to late 19th Century; start=1850; end=1901 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
