Acknowledgements My gratitude goes to the Iklé-Frischknecht Foundation for its financial support of the project. The textile examples from the Iklé-Jacoby collection were made available thanks to Hanspeter Schmid, director of the St. Gallen Textile Museum, Ursula Karbacher, curator and Janina Hauser, textile conservator. I am indebted to my husband Rene Wanner for expert advice and technical assistance on digital presentation. Thanks are also due to all CIETA colleagues who encouraged this endeavour through our many discussions during conferences and meetings. |
The
project of a glossary of embroidery stitches arose
among the members of the „Embroidery Group“,
one of the specialized groups under the banner of the
CIETA (Centre International d’Etude des Textiles
Anciens, based in Lyon). |
This publication is part of
the glossary, which presents an illustrated collection of
embroidery stitches with descriptions in 4 languages. It is hoped that the illustration of the embroidery stitches both from the front and the reverse side will allow new insights in terms of dating and provenance. |
