EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry titled "Salesmans Sample, France, 1780/90". Created by an unknown artist during the 18th century in Lyon, France, this embroidered textile is a true testament to European craftsmanship. The intricate design features delicate floral motifs meticulously stitched with silk floss using techniques such as outline satin and stem stitches. The vibrant colors and exquisite patterns on this fabric reflect the rich heritage of French embroidery. Each detail has been carefully woven into the silk plain weave covered paillettes and silk warp float faced twill weave with supplementary pile warps forming cut solid velvet. The addition of sequins adds a touch of sparkle to this already mesmerizing artwork. Displayed at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago's gallery, this Salesmans Sample transports viewers back in time to an era when needlework was highly valued for its beauty and intricacy. Its presence serves as a reminder of the artistic achievements that have shaped our cultural landscape throughout history. While we may never know who created this masterpiece or its intended purpose, it remains an invaluable artifact that continues to inspire awe and admiration today. This print allows us to appreciate every stitch and knot that went into crafting such an extraordinary textile from centuries past.
