This important book is a comprehensive examination of needlework tools from the seventeenth century to the Edwardian era. The author, an expert with over twenty years' first-hand experience of her subject, has grouped needlework tools into specific periods, linking these to the style of embroidery that was in fashion and the social background of the time. This book answers the many questions posed by collectors of antique needlework tools and is of equal interest to all embroidery and needlework enthusiasts, social historians, dealers and auction houses.
Reader Reviews
This is a lovely book. The many pictures and descriptions are very helpful in becoming informed about these treasures. The only negative for me is that there were no guidelines regarding value. As a novice I would have benefited by getting a ballpark idea of value when purchasing.Antique Needlework Tools and Embroideries
