Vintage and Antique Linens by Em's Heart
Antique Society Silk Embroidered Centerpiece
Lipstick Red "He Loves Me" Roses
Item Number D25105
Amazingly realistic silk embroidered roses embody the perfection sought with the society silk embroidery style. The Kensington stitch used layers, directionality and fine gradations of shade to achieve the botanical realism we have come to so thoroughly admire. My photographs did not do this piece justice -- The silk shading is much finer and more detailed than shown below. The creamy white linen is fine and clear. I most loved the aphid chewed leaf but the thorny scalloped hem really made me smile...Amazing work in lipstick red "he loves me" roses...Freshly laundered and pressed, in excellent condition. c.1890 - 1910 16" round
