Alphabets Variés de A. Rouyer

21

France André-Béranger, 120, Rue St. Denis, Paris

Small leporello with two whitework alphabets with floral decoration. The alphabets were each four folded pages wide. To make viewing, copying, and printing easier the wide strips have been split vertically in four pages each, making the letters on each page seem out of order. The designs are small, probably meant for marking handkerchiefs and similar small items.

Lost In The Forest

HANSEL and GRETEL Neyret Freres/Cash's STEVENGRAPH WOVEN SILK

A woven silk image after a painting by Marie Wunsch of Hans and Gretel, titled Lost In The Forest, in two sizes. Such woven images are also called Stevengraphs after the inventor. The scans and photos do not do them justice, as changing light also changes the image, making it much more lively to look at than the static digital image ever can show. Compare the two sizes to see how the pattern was adapted to each size. The reverse side of each is also shown. The first image is a fair-use thumbnail of the original painting.

1894-ANTIQUE-DUTCH-WOOL-WORK-SAMPLER-WONDERFUL-PATTERNS-SIGNED-L-S-BLIJDORP-311535686990

Photographs of an old Dutch woolwork sampler, with 34 pattern samples, a border with flowers and leaves, and a border in red backstitches. Dated 1894 on the sampler and named as by L.S. Blijdorp. Some of the patterns were evidently popular as they recur in other Dutch samplers around that time.

  DETAIL PAGE  

Journal des Demoiselles (publ.)

Round pattern in blue, red, gold, brown and black

France Journal des Demoiselles, Boulevart des Italiens N. 1

Supplement from the 17th year of Journal des Demoiselles. A round pattern printed on cream cardboard. A red border with a gold and black chain design, and the center with blue and brown curlicues outlined in black and gold. The background color was not given but might be white. The pattern looks symmetrical but isn't. It would be suitable for a round decorative pillow cover or table center. It's probably too large for a hot plate if done in beadwork.

Corner design with rose garlands and yellow flowers

German [Heinrich Kuehn, Berlin]

Handpainted Berlin woolwork pattern, a wide corner design with a narrow geometric border, then yellow flowers, and within that rose garlands with green leaves.

Seen on the Catawiki auction website, a fragment of beautiful antique woolwork embroidery, photographs clear enough to chart. There was no way to contact the seller elegantiques of Europe, so no permission to show the photographs except a fair-use thumbnail. A wide border suitable for use in furniture covering and decorative pillows, maybe also as belt for clothing.

N-HW003 Den Haan & Wagenmakers - Beaded bag No. 1  PDF 

  DETAIL PAGE  

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.

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).

Adele Voshage

Das Spitzenklöppeln

Anleitung an vierunddreiszig Mustern die Klöppelarbeit gründlich zu erlernen.

German Eugen Twietmeijer, Leipzig

Although the text is in fraktur script and probably not an easy read (as well as German) the illustrations are fabulous, in clear black and white the lace pattern, and an engraving of the resulting lace. This edition is the third, indicating that the book must have sold well at the time. And with every new edition new patterns were added. No separate pattern sheets, but with copy-paste-print that shouldn't be a big problem. Some nice illustrations of antique lacemaking tools as well.

  DETAIL PAGE  

Bury St. Edmunds Cathedral Kneelers

Selection of photos

Forty-eight photographs of kneelers in the cathedral of Bury St. Edmunds. This is a small sample of the phenomenal collection of embroidered kneelers in that church. All were embroidered in the 60s, two for each parish, and there's around 500 parishes in that diocese. Each has the name of the parish, a symbolic representation of the parish or a more general religious motif, to a blue background divided in three parts by a gold and red Y. See https://parishkneelers.co.uk/churches/suffolk/bury-st-edmundsbury-cathedral/ for smaller images of 81 of them.

Two leaves from an incunabel book

Two separate leaves from a very old book. The black letters are printed, the initials are handpainted afterwards. To make the painting easier, little letters were printed in the empty space showing which initial should go where. It appears to be a book about religious laws. The leaves were numbered 1 per leaf, not as we now do an odd number on one side and an even number on the other.
