EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite embroidered box titled "Scenes from the Life of Abraham" created around 1665 by the English School of the 17th century. Housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK, this remarkable piece is a testament to the skill and artistry of its anonymous creator, possibly Miss Bluitt or later Mrs Payne. Measuring approximately 30 x 27 x 18 cm, this mixed media masterpiece combines various materials such as silk, linen and metal threads, hair, peacock feathers, pearls, and wire. These elements are meticulously mounted on a wooden carcass with silver fittings. Notably, some sections of Sarah's dress have been painted to imitate original tent stitch embroidery. The intricate craftsmanship displayed in this needlepoint creation is truly awe-inspiring. It incorporates techniques like appliqué work, detached needlepoint stitches, cut pile stitches, satin stitch embroidery along with tent stitch patterns. The result is a stunning fusion of floral motifs and ornate baroque designs that adorn every inch of this decorative casket. With its detailed depiction of scenes from Abraham's life as described in the Old Testament – including his encounters with Sarah – this embroidered box serves as a visual narrative that captivates viewers' imagination. Its ornamental beauty adds an air of sophistication to any space it graces while showcasing Western artistry at its finest. This photograph captures not just a mere object but also celebrates centuries-old craftsmanship and dedication to detail within
