Download or read book Jacobean Embroidery written by A. F. Morris Hands and published by . This book was released on 2009-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collaborative work on "Jacobean Embroidery," which includes many black and white illustrations, was first published in 1912. "Jacobean Embroidery" refers to embroidery styles that flourished during the reign of King James I of England. The term is usually used today to describe a form of crewel embroidery used for furnishing characterized by fanciful plant and animal shapes worked in a variety of stitches with two-ply wool yarn on linen. Popular motifs in "Jacobean Embroidery," especially curtains for bed hangings, are the Tree of Life and stylized forests, usually rendered as exotic plants arising from a landscape or terra firma with birds, stags, squirrels, and other familiar animals. Early "Jacobean Embroidery" often featured scrolling floral patterns worked in colored silks on linen, a fashion that arose in the earlier Elizabethan era. Embroidered jackets were fashionable for both men and women in the period 1600-1620, and several of these jackets have survived. "Jacobean Embroidery" was carried by British colonists to Colonial America, where it flourished. The Deerfield embroidery movement of the 1890s revived interest in colonial and Jacobean styles of embroidery.
