What I adore about all of the textiles you have listed is that each and every one was hand embroidered. AMAZING. Such detail in the stitches and the work. As a needlewoman, I am always impressed and fascinated to see handword of this caliber. Sea Witch

Hi Sea Witch. I am equally impressed with those who took the time to make such beauty, and those who take the effort to preserve it. The detailed work on that gauntlet is almost 400 years old!
