| A discussion of two very
similar jackets, one cotton, the other a mixture of
cotton and linen, in the collection of the Fries Museum
in Leeuwarden. Both are embroidered in similar ways in
red silk. They can be dated between 1690 and 1730. Also
considered are two jackets in the Groninger Museum in
Groningen, one of yellow satin embroidered in yellow silk
in a manner very similar to a cot quilt of c. 1690-1700,
the other of white linen, which is quilted and
embroidered with coloured flowers in relief. Unluckily no portraits are known of women wearing such jackets (unlike in England), so they must be presumed to have been for informal wear. (Abstract sent by Pat Griffiths) |
