1787A. A most attractive embroidered textile cover, the bird and flower design in the Arts and Crafts manner, undyed linen ground exquisitely worked in coloured silks in satin, stem, long and short stitch and chain stitch in pale gold, pale blue, salmon pink and shades of green; the central, beautifully coloured, birds facing towards the central ‘iris’ motif surrounded by scrolling, well drawn flowers and foliage, within a floral border; the outer narrow border embroidered in pale blue with two sets of initials at the base: ‘AMD’ lower left corner and ‘MET’ in the lower right corner, English, circa 1900, 28in. x 46in. 71cm. x 107cm. Slight time stains to the linen ground. The two sets of initials indicate that there were probably two embroideresses; this type of embroidery would have been sold, often directly from the Morris & Co. workshop, in kit form for embroidery at home and it is likely that the design would already have been marked on the fabric, though there is no evidence of it having been so marked. The linen ground is hand seamed through the middle and the embroidery is worked over the entire piece. £300-600
