Variation on the Ranee Whatnot

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.

Pullan, Ladies Manual of Fancy Work: Golden Tapestry Patterns, are designed in three shades of gold, with a plain dark ground. 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

Dutch sampler around 1900

Dutch sampler with 58 patterns, one alphabet, several stitch patterns, and one motif. The other patterns are repeating patterns. The first chart contains 24 small repeats, the second one the ribbon motif, four large repeating patterns, two medium sized, and two narrow ones. The stitch patterns are not all reproduced, since they are more difficult to draw and can be figured out easily from the photograph.
