Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Metal thread embroidery (or gold work) is an exciting and challenging technqiue. From prehistoric origins in the East, the skills travelled slowly west, reaching a peak in England with the great medieval period of embroidery, when the highly regarded "English work" or Opus Anglicanum was in demand all over Europe. Today metal thread is still used for ecclesiastical and ceremonial items and embroiderers also use the threads in more experimental ways. This volume draws together in dictionary form a wide range of information on metal thread embroidery. Within the alphabetical arrangement, the text is broken down into five main sections. The author first assembles together articles on which metal thread can be found, such as domestic items, ecclesiastical textiles, secular garments and military and heraldic articles. A section is then devoted to tools, giving full details of specialist requirements for metal thread embroidery. Materials are covered, and techniques are explained with the help of close-up photographs and clear diagrams. The author also provides a list of places where metal thread embroidery can be seen. The illustrations are of both historical and contemporary work. The book is aimed at both experienced embroiderers and those who are new to the technique. Jane Lemon is also the author of "Embroidered Boxes". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. …
