From the large Aubusson tapestries that
warmed the walls of the chateaux, to the smaller chair
seats and backs, and of course pillows, needlework has
been a great part of the textile history of France.
We have many examples of needlework
from 18th C. petitpoint pillows to 20th C replicas of
19th needlepoint chair seats and backs, plus small tapestry
wall hangings from the 19th C., English beaded footstools
from the Victorian era (c1860), and various pieces of
needlepoint, painted canvas and beadwork, either sold
as pieces or made into decorative cushions. |
