This study by Mr. R.W. Lightbown is the product of considerable research and deals with the gold and silver secular plate of medieval France from the historical, antiquarian, artistic and iconographical standpoints. It contains a corpus of all the surviving examples, bringing out the central role played by France in the history of Gothic art and medieval social life.
From crochet to tapestry, fine French seams to intricate bobbin lace, this volume has explanations and illustrations for everything necessary for an excellent needlework project. It has information about the size of the needles to use and the thread type that works best for the project that is being worked. There are clear instructions and methods for each type of needle-work, and also suggestions for backing and framing. A complete guide for many projects. Probably not for a beginner.
