Four religious motifs

Vintage-Embroidered-Ecclesiastical-Vestment-Applique-Motifs-in-VGC-381655035120

Four pieces of embroidery probably used for vestments. Three have a cross motif, one the IHS monogram that has various interpretations, all of them related to Christ or the Christian religion. The cross motifs have different shapes and borders. The fourth motif chart has been corrected because the original embroidery is not symmetrical and not consistent in coloring.

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.

There's a Halloween witch rug pattern and one that clearly is from before WW2 which would not be suitable to make and display in modern times. For the footstool covers smaller Berlin woolwork floral patterns can be used instead of the patterns offered for sale here, which will no longer be available.

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.

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.

Corner design with yellow flowers

German [Heinrich Kuehn, Berlin]

Handpainted pattern on cream paper, bottom part of the pattern has been cut off. Very probably Heinrich Kuehn or their successor Vereinigte Stickmuster Verlag. Beautiful yellow flowers and green leaves. Some errors in painting have been corrected by overpainting with cream paint that has discolored some in the course of time.

Les Modes

1911 Avril No. 124, Photo Edition

French fashion magazine, 36 pages excluding covers, advertisements and two separate colored plates. Page 16 and 17 are combined to one.

Designs from famous designers such as Redfern and Poiret. Dresses very similar to those in the film Titanic. No publisher mentioned, possibly some pages are missing.

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.

A sadly incomplete version of the Embroiderers Alphabet, containing only covers, the last two cross-stitch plates, and all the advertisements. Later editions of the same title also contained whitework alphabets and borders. Since this is an early version, so are the publications mentioned in the advertisement. Not charted because those charts are available in other editions.

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

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.

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.

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.

  DETAIL PAGE  

Victorian beaded and embroidered square

Chart only. A magnificent square embroidered frame, in the middle a rather small bouquet. This pattern occurred on two ebay items, but we could not secure permission from either seller to show the originals. On one the background was two shades of purple, on the other two shades of red, and the bouquets were placed slightly differently. This pattern has been reworked so the frame is symmetrical and the bouquet has been adapted to fit properly. We've picked two shades of blue as background; feel free to choose your own.

  DETAIL PAGE  

Victorian beaded wall pocket

162220947 victorian-gothic-wall-pocket-black

Victorian wall pocket with floral beadwork and beaded initials, on black velvet, lined and backed with red wool fabric. Wall pockets were made of various materials, wood, ceramics, metal, leather, and fabric. Sherlock Holmes used a "Persian slipper" to keep his tobacco in, possibly also as a wall pocket. Dutch farmers may nail a wooden shoe that's too badly worn, to the wall of a barn to serve as wall pocket. This wall pocket is covered in fabric, and possibly backed in wood, as it is still straight and firm after decennia of use. The pattern is a tracing, and the "toe" is a bit of a guess, since we had access to images only and not to the original item. Width can be adapted if you want the toe narrower or wider.

  DETAIL PAGE  

Victorian beaded necklace

Antique-Victorian-Mourning-Necklace-Pendant-Faceted-Glass-and-Brass-Seed-Beads/142632500878

From the item listing: A stunning, rare early Victorian loom seed beaded mourning necklace with pendant. Each decorative piece is connected by 8 strands of beads. The seed beads are black faceted glass and faceted brass. The brass seed beads being those that detail the motifs of flies/bees and outside edges of the connecting strands. They also form the laurel leaf motif on the pendant. The laurel leaves on this necklace would represent peace and triumph, and worldly accomplishment, while the fly, being a popular Victorian naturalist motif was a symbol of humility. In 1860 Victorians had a passion for wearing all things insects and this necklace is a fabulous example of this vogue.

Antique needlepoint cushion cover front

A-GOOD-ANTIQUE-NEEDLE-POINT-CUSHION-COVER-FRONT-19th-CENTURY-CIRCA-1850-WOOL-112009018656

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.

Narrow panel, probably for a towel rack. Originally the background was an allover bright red, but probably that was not included in the original pattern. A two color background, light in the centre and darker in the background, matches similar patterns, and blue contrasts better with the brown color range of the motif. Of course, suit your own taste.

Design is of grape leaves worked in white and green beads, on a red and gold ground worked in cross stitch. The pillow is finished with a red twisted silk cord, long enough to tie at the ends, and the reverse is plain light brown wool. Pattern looks familiar but has not been identified yet.
