After a much needed, major clear out of my studio, it is now filling up fast with new sale finds. The new year began well – I was offered the fabulous contents of a Victorian linen cupboard and a family collection of lace from a local estate. I also acquired lots of new stock from two wonderful antique textile sales - one in SW England and another in Yorkshire. I am continuing to list these items as soon as I have laundered and inspected them – lace, shawls, Edwardian and Victorian costume, a collection of buttons etc. Happy browsing!
An extraordinary hand embroidered map of Europe, dated 1800, stitched by Mary Horton. The silk is backed with calico, and the silk thread embroidered though both layers, so this is in good condition for its age, with a little water staining to the top right, and some fading to the bottom left hand side. This was so hard to photograph! It measures 68cm x 57cm. and there is an edging of about 1,5cm where it was once folded over a stiff backing for framing. No damage to the silk that I can spot - one tiny tear outside the main field. A really interesting early embroidered silk map!
