Description: Cotton, double canvas, Berlin wool work sampler, embroidered with polychrome wools and silks in cross-stitch with some long-armed cross-stitch. The edges are bound with green silk ribbon. The sampler consists of twenty-nine detached motifs, which are predominantly geometric designs, with some including stylized flower and foliage patterns. There is also a group of four leaf and bud motifs. Some textural variety is given to the simple stitching by highlighting a selection of the patterns with thick, lightly twisted silk. | 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: | Unknown embroidery sampler | Temporal: | name=mid 19th century; start=1840; end=1860 | 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 |
