Synopsis:
This volume is the first fully illustrated account of the 16th- and 17th-century embroideries at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, England, which form one of the earliest and most important collections of original textile furnishings in any house in Britain. The book begins by describing the social, economic, and artistic environment within which Bess of Hardwick and her descendants furnished this important house. Then, Santina M. Levey provides detailed descriptions of how the embroideries were made, examining the needlework techniques and materials, and identifies possible sources of inspiration.
