Dog on a cushion 1849 No. 1 Bijzondere uitgave van het tijdschrift Aglaja; uitgevoerd door Sajou te Parijs |
King Charles spaniel sitting on a red cushion with two golden yellow tassels. The image is probably inspired by another pattern that was based on a painting by Landseer that depicted pets of Queen Victoria. The dog lying on a small footstool is Dash, a dog that she got while still a princess. The other pattern isolated Dash on the footstool without showing the other pets. Cue an avalanche of spaniel embroidery patterns, most on a cushion, but without the blue ribbon and bows that were shown on the painting. Single sheet, handpainted Berlin woolwork pattern.

Punched paper card partially embroidered Peach, apple, strawberries on a plate |
Punched paper cardboard, with an embroidery pattern printed on it and already partially embroidered. No publishers mark or date. A step up from the outline pre-punched embroidery cards for kindergarten children. Some stitch placement suggestions, otherwise all left to the embroiderer. Punched paper was a popular embroidery ground, as it wouldn't deform when stitches were pulled too tight. Paper was also sold under the name of Toilecrosse.

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.

Embroidery pattern for dark green wallet or clutch |
Single sheet, with a dark green oblong and three parts of embroidery, intended to be folded over and the bottom sides sewn to the middle, with the top remaining as flap. The embroidery is couched gold cord, with what looks like mostly applique of two types embroidered or printed ribbon. Such items were common in earlier ages as portefeuilles. The Rijksmuseum has one from Michiel de Ruyter, with beads and embroidery, from the seventeenth century. Still useful as wallet or clutch or holder for a smartphone.

IHS Chair seat |
Beautiful chair seat design, with a cross of flowers and in the center an IHS motif - In Hoc Signo. That motif could of course be used separately as well. Large pattern, partially shown (chart is complete) printed on cream paper. Design by Maison Thorel, 153, Rue St. Denis, Paris. The Journal des Jeunes Personnes generally had simpler patterns suitable for younger needleworkers, but this is quite a piece of work.

Japanese colored drawings |
Eight colored drawings of Japanese origin. They show mythical air spirits playing musical instruments. The drawings were photographed while still in protective sleeves, which is why the background color is uneven. The faces and bodies of these musicians are done in very light grey, whereas the clothes and other accessoires are boldly drawn and colored.

Corner design with yellow flowers |
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. The cover and advertisements were detached and may be in the wrong sequence. Many fashion illustrations from the upper class ladies dresses, childrens dresses, jewellery designs, toilet accessories and a silver tea service. Some handbags and the big hats of that era. 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 |
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.

Beaded bag No. 1 |
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
