http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html Hand worked needlerun triangular shawl/fichu, with a repeating large sprig motif above a ribbon of eyelets decorating the scalloped border on all sides. In the main corner there is a lovely floral spray with some nice fancy fillings and some silky threads used to add highlights. The edges have been edged with a machine made picot edge. Whilst the design looks similar to Nottingham run embroidery, it is just a bit too 'folksy' and knowing that this piece came from the collection of a Dutch collector, I suspect that this piece has a Flemish or Dutch origin rather than English. Condition is very good with just a few broken threads. 19th century. Quite a bright white colour with a few faint marks. Measures approx. 126cm x 55cm (49 1/2" x 21 1/2"). £100.00 Click on an image to enlarge http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#0 933cf83a-3d01-4d90-96be-0aae2bbfc0b5 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK7/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK7/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#1 89f2f84d-168e-4abc-a944-6407ba7f0656 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK10/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK10/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#2 2b9c0182-b968-432c-9a2e-9ab600d7ab57 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK6/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK6/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#3 6f37311f-8995-4de7-b522-69444a695426 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK1/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK1/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#4 bd00e9f9-f624-4b1b-855a-e8ba43c73265 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK2/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK2/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#5 1399359f-9abe-40f4-975b-ad383e0329ed http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK3/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK3/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#6 16254b69-be5b-4449-8842-ca7724bdae22 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK4/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK4/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#7 f213be00-ff9b-4765-a157-704d7edfc765 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK5/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK5/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#8 b8180594-cff0-4593-9404-a42f3fc12c16 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK12/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK12/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#9 132dd46c-ff52-4a47-83c9-45f319727cca http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK13/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK13/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#10 4651f9f5-4606-47ed-94d0-0eaad1f48199 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK14/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK14/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#11 2f2fe28e-f294-403e-81db-a69d7e7cd566 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK15/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK15/micro.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37.html#12 86d14628-d0c6-495a-8df9-17f03fb63552 http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK16/thumb.jpg http://www.theflyingbedstead.com/The_Flyingbedstead/NR37_files/Media/NR37BK16/micro.jpg
