EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning cushion cover from the late 19th century, crafted with exquisite attention to detail. The Berlin woolwork embroidery on canvas features a rich navy blue background adorned with stylized intertwined foliate motifs in shades of brown and burgundy. Measuring at 46.5x46.5 cm, this textile masterpiece is currently housed in The Geffrye Museum of the Home in London, UK. Mounted on a wooden board and backed with linen, the cushion cover is trimmed with a cord of twisted braid in shades of blue and brown, adding an elegant touch to its overall design. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns beautifully complement each other, creating a visually striking piece that effortlessly captures the essence of Victorian-era furnishing. The composition primarily focuses on plant structures such as leaves and foliage arranged in a patterned manner across the square format. Against a crisp white background, these natural elements come to life, showcasing nature's beauty through artful needlework. This photograph perfectly captures every minute detail of this historical artifact - from its royal blue hues to its meticulous craftsmanship - allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It serves as a testament to the skillful hands that created it over a century ago while also serving as an inspiration for contemporary designers seeking timeless elegance in their own creations.
