$69 USDVintage 30s Art DECO Pair Embroidery/Embroidered Boy & Girl in Period Costumes EXQUISITE!

Collectibles:Textiles
A beautiful pair of American colonial embroideries from the Art Deco era, circa 1925-1930. The pair was kept away from daylight in an a portfolio, and is incredibly fresh, with vibrant colors. The embroidery, which looks more like an elaborate hand crafted 3 D weaving, is intact. The colors are the American colors, set against an ecru canvas background. The subjects are adorable! Done in the "silhouette" style, they show a girl watering flowers, and a boy dressed in an ancient Period costume. ...

Collectibles:Textiles
Incredibly fresh in spirit and colors, this vintage needlepoint/ sampler from the 60s/70s has a composition, characters, decorative details and a motto to die for! You will love its pastel colors, particularly its fresh pink, its naive butterflies, fun trees with big red apples, the charming period costumes of the man and the woman, (not totally accurate for 1890 though in my opinion!) The motto is about friendship: " A friend in need is a friend indeed". which has of course a lot of ancient ...
Vintage Very Ornate Ecru MALTA/Maltese Lace WEDDING Hankie/Handkerchief DIVINE!

$145 USDVintage Very Ornate Ecru MALTA/Maltese Lace WEDDING Hankie/Handkerchief DIVINE!

Collectibles:Textiles
This is so beautiful! All hand made in Malta with silk. The lace is silk and so is the center. It is an ecru color, what is called "blonde Maltese". The piece is incredibly intricate, with the most charming overall shape, and it goes back to the mid-century, 1950s very likely. Wedding hankies have become very hot collectibles as the art form is now lost. The last amazing examples seem to have appeared and disappeared some time in the mid 1970s. Malta lace is world famous, when one sees this ...

It must have taken weeks to complete! Filet lace is perfect of course against a darker background, where the lace motif stands out at its best. CONDITION: In very good condition. No holes.

This is truly a bedspread for Snow White! It is made of an immaculate white cotton, incredibly compact, (and heavy) with on top, what we all love: a profusion of popcorns. This great Classic, which is a perfection in the style, also has the prettiest Queen Ann lacey border. The bedspread which has crocheted popcorns, was actually knot, (which is an Irish tradition) in Ireland or in England, somewhere in the 1960s, and is in remarkable condition. This fabulous vintage piece, will bring any room a ...

$499 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Embroidery/Hand Embroidered WEDDING Handkerchief EXTRAORDINARY!

Collectibles:Textiles
There is nothing like it! This is the most detailed hand embroidery I have personally ever seen. This will take your breath away! Possibly several months of work by the most expert professional. This wedding handkerchief/hanky goes back to the middle of the 20th Century and comes from the same amazing French collection of textiles and antique lace I currently have on Rubylane. It was very likely embroidered in China. These unbelievable professionals alas are not around any more. The base of the ...
Vintage Edwardian to Art DECO Embroidery/Embroidered TULLE Collar RARE!

$99 USDVintage Edwardian to Art DECO Embroidery/Embroidered TULLE Collar RARE!

Collectibles:Textiles
This is one of the most exquisite embroideries I have seen dating to the 1910-1920 era. It really is transitional in style, but one thing is sure, it is amazingly done, as it can be worn any side, with no flaw, and a different beauty and effect each way. To achieve this, the level of details is quite exceptional. One side is more metallic looking, the other one more colorful, and it is just a question of taste or matching outfit. I believe the round part is the front, and the points are for the ...
Vintage 60s Hippie Psychedelic Embroidery/Needlepoint Age of AQUARIUS AWESOME!

$115 USDVintage 60s Hippie Psychedelic Embroidery/Needlepoint Age of AQUARIUS AWESOME!

Collectibles:Textiles
This awesome Hippie needlepoint, with beautiful Art Nouveau/Victorian lettering, in the spirit of the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine", shows Aquarius in antique Greek costume, pouring water from a jar. This is the only Hippie needlepoint I have found in the past 5 years, in the Santa Monica/Venice area, so fertile in 1960s memorabilia, so I can really say, this is a rare artifact. The age of Aquarius which was a major song in the Musical: "Hair", is literally the symbol of New Age. Hippies believed ...
Vintage 30s Large French Art DECO Country Flowers Embroidery/Centerpiece WOW!

$149 USDVintage 30s Large French Art DECO Country Flowers Embroidery/Centerpiece WOW!

Collectibles:Textiles
From the same amazing French textiles collection, a large, intricate cut out embroidery from the Art Deco era, with bright colored poppies done on rustic ecru linen. Though these pieces were later reproduced, this is a 1930s original, as can clearly be seen from the age of the fabric. I was told this type of coloring was done with diluted colored sugar! The piece is of course all hand done, and was used to serve coffee or tea, as can be seen from a few scattered faint stains. Today, it can be ...

Collectibles:Textiles
Found in Paris, this awesome antique French tapestry pillowcase from the 1950s, with incredible Modernist motifs, in a harmony of muted pastels and a central dark brown velvet insert, worked in waves. This was the peak of French Modernist Tapestry, the most famous artist being Jean Lurcat, and it is clearly reflected in the style of this small work of Art. The motif alternates Middle Ages shields and stylized flowers with a strong thistles feel. Against a cream base, there are 3 main colors: a ...

CONDITION: The piece has ...
Vintage Mid Century Chinese/Mongolian Small Figural Petitpoint VERY RARE!

$245 USDVintage Mid Century Chinese/Mongolian Small Figural Petitpoint VERY RARE!

Collectibles:Textiles
A totally unique figural Oriental textile, with beautiful colors and the most mysterious narrative. This is really a rare piece, and I must say I never saw another one in years of browsing for Chinese antiques. The piece is Mid Century, either late 50s or early 60s, and I assume it was created in Mongolia, which was then part of China. Standing by a river with snow capped mountains in the distance, it shows a kind of God, with a green head, who is also a tower with an entrance, in the sky, what ...
Vintage 30s Chinese EMBROIDERY/Embroidered Lady Purse/Clutch w Birds & Flowers AWESOME!

$149 USDVintage 30s Chinese EMBROIDERY/Embroidered Lady Purse/Clutch w Birds & Flowers AWESOME!

Collectibles:Textiles
A 1930s Chinese Export interpretation of the famous Qing Dynasty rank badges. The purse was kept in a box all along and is in remarkable condition. Lady Purses with authentic rank badges became a hit right after the fall of the dynasty (1911) and to answer the demand, interpretations like this one appeared on the market. These Chinese exports stopped completely with WWII. The purse folds like a clutch and has a badge embroidered on black cotton on each side. It is lined with teal silk. The ...
Vintage Mid Century Embroidery LAVISHLY Hand Embroidered WEDDING Handkerchief/Hankie DIVINE!

$399 USD Offers ConsideredVintage Mid Century Embroidery LAVISHLY Hand Embroidered WEDDING Handkerchief/Hankie DIVINE!

Collectibles:Textiles
A divine mid Century wedding handkerchief, all hand embroidered with the most exquisite and minute floral and decorative details. The amount of work involved in this piece is simply phenomenal and the minuscule size of the embroidery will dumbfound you. It must have taken weeks to complete! This piece comes from the same amazing private French collection as my Brussels surplices, etc. However, I believe this is not European embroidery, but Chinese, and it is easy to see why this antique lace ...
Vintage 20s French Art DECO Folk Embroidery/Embroidered Textile Large FABULOUS!

$199 USD Offers ConsideredVintage 20s French Art DECO Folk Embroidery/Embroidered Textile Large FABULOUS!

Collectibles:Textiles
An amazing French hand Embroidery from the Art Deco period, circa 1925. The piece is quite large and was probably intended for one of the oversized pillows of the time. Because it was kept in a French armoire all along, and never really used, it has kept its incredibly vibrant colors. The fabric is also very fresh. The piece is done with very rustic and shiny cottons against a black rayon satin, creating not only a stunning visual contrast., but also a super tactile, three dimensional effect. ...
