Embroidery Sample (France)

This rectangular embroidery sample on navy blue woven fabric features a design of flowers and feathers in cheerful multicolors. The textile is surrounded by a cream-colored paper enclosure. Along the left side of the sample run two vertical stripes, one light blue and white, the other alternating between white satin stitch and panels of French knots on the navy ground. To the right, arranged vertically, are four diagonal feathers, quill ends pointing down, alternating right and left. The feathers are striped sky blue, black, and white above the shaft, and shaded in white, mustard yellow, and coral red below. Both sides have a downy border in pale taupe along the bottom half. The feathers seem to float over a vertical band of greenery, small blue flowers, and the stems of floral bouquets. The bouquets curve out to the right on the navy ground. At the top, level with the first feather, is a group of three flowers with round petals and tall stamens. The flowers are embroidered in shades of teal, pink, yellow, white, and coral. Small sky blue and white flowers accent this arrangement. Below, level with the third feather, is a group of three cone-shaped flowers with round 'skirts' near the point of the cone. The cones are teal; the skirts are shaded yellow, coral, pink, and white, ringed with French knots. The same blue and white flowers flank the cone flowers. Below, the pattern repeats with the upper half of the first bouquet.
