Description

The Embroiderers' Guild owns arguably the most important collections of embroideries assembled in one place.

These books show the best of the collection, which dates from around the 17th century through to the present day.

Whether a piece of work is just a fragment, or whether it is a complete item, the embroiderer will be fascinated by the stitching detail: what threads are used, the type of stitch, its origin, whether it belongs to a family of stitches.

Also, what is of interest to the embroiderer is the theme of a piece, whether it is flowers, figures, insects or animals.

The finest historical textiles are teeming with images, many of them symbolic, especially in ecclesiastical embroidery.

An important source of the design was nature, which has inspired many beautiful pieces throughout the centuries. These books are in a large format to give maximum emphasis to the embroidery detail, and the series is themed.

These inspirational books include sumptuous photography and extended captions throughout.
