Woolwork embroidery, square piece intended for a cushion cover. Donors estimate is around 1850. Original colors have faded. The background colors on the original are red, dark red, blueish green. The chart is done in red and dark red only, because the blueish green looked horrible when applied to the chart. Probably the original shade was different from that on the DMC palette.

Den Haan & Wagenmakers (publ.)

Beaded bag No. 1

Netherlands Den Haan & Wagenmakers, Edam

Pattern for a knitted bag with beading, also suitable for cross-stitch. A parrot sitting on a fence looking down at a dog. The top of the bag has a floral border which can be used independently. The bottom of the bag is a floral design with three red flowers, and blue leaves on a lighter blue background. The middle pattern has an error; the pillar behind the dogs tail does not run all the way to the bottom. Also, the mountain in the background is cut off rather abruptly. Probably this is an adaption of a larger pattern, that has been cropped to suit the dimensions of the bag.

Embroidered pelmet. The pattern is very clearly inspired by the Englishwomans Domestic Magazine pattern titled The Ranee Whatnot, but on overlaying the charts there's a clear difference in color choice, and the original pattern has been adapted to the required size. We don't have permission to show the original pattern from the only source I currently am aware of. Fair use allows to show a thumbnail only.

Eight traditional German maxims

Eight single sheets, probably from one booklet, printed in red and green on a green grid. Each has a traditional maxim, about food (give us today our daily bread, clean kitchen and good wine cellar means a tasty meal, a happy face is the best dish, drink and eat and do not forget God), about the clean linens (grown in sun and wind and bleached on green grass it lies now in the locker as pride for the German housewife), about the house (sweet home is happiness only), about patience (do not hurry, good things will wait), and about work (work is an ornament to people - blessing is the reward of effort). Some damage to the bottom of a few patterns, but missing parts have been reconstructed.

Fischbach, F.

Der Damenwelt Gewidmet von der Zwirnerei & Nähfadenfabrik Göggingen

1888 36

German F. Fischbach

Small cardboard card, part of an incomplete collection. On one side a pattern chart with an alphabet in dark red, a large floral motif in bright red and a small motif in dark blue. On the other side Wise Proverbs. The first says that if you walk barefeet, you won't feel bothered by lack of shoes when you see someone else lacking both feet. Second says that if you are happy with the entire world but most happy with yourself, that is the best fate that could befall you and I wish it for you and myself. The third says that for a possession to make you happy, you have to have won it yourself, and that for joy is to be felt fully, first your suffering has to be defeated.

Two of the gold shades are a sort of brownish yellow, the lightest always yellow silk. With claret, blue or green ground, this style of work is very rich and chaste looking. Borders for table-covers are especially handsome in it; and by care with the grounding it will correspond with any kind of furniture. https://archive.org/stream/ladysmanualoffan1859pull#page/30/mode/2up
