EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Salesman's Sample from France, dating back to the late 18th century. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its already impressive allure. The sample itself is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry prevalent during that era. It features appliqué and embroidery techniques using silk floss and yarns in various stitches such as outline satin, padded satin, single satin, stem stitches, couching, and French knots. These intricate needlework details bring life to the fabric by creating stunning floral motifs that adorn its surface. The textile used for this masterpiece is made of silk plain weave with supplementary patterning warps and wefts. Additionally, two-color supplementary pile warps form a cut solid velvet effect that adds depth and texture to the overall design. Displayed at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago's gallery space, this artwork transports viewers back in time to experience the elegance and sophistication of 18th-century France. Its vibrant colors evoke a sense of opulence while showcasing European textile traditions at their finest. As we gaze upon this extraordinary creation captured in print form, it serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage—unveiling stories woven into every stitch—a true treasure waiting to be discovered by all who appreciate beauty through textiles.
