Around the turn-of-the-century in the Peking area, match- makers were given a pair of silk embroidered squares made by a prospective & available gir…l to be handed over to a young male as an example of her charm & skill. In turn, the male & his family would consider this candidate for marriage. These wonderful silk embroideries reflect the delicate stitch, the composition and skill in creating her image to the young man and his family. In fact the couple never met, until the mar- riage was performed, or if rejected, the embroideries were often given away, and not kept. If the couple did marry, the embroideries were made into pillow ends. Each is gaily col- ored, and executed with the girl's best skill [with her mot- her's help?] Each is a matching pair, different patterns,but related and suitable for the "wedding pillow." Ephemeral embroideries of this kind were not substantial enough to have survived, thus these are quite unusual and R A R E ! .

In den WarenkorbUnrecorded account of the life and works of the blessed Torello of Poppi (1202-1282), a Franciscan hermit in Tuscany. Although here called "San Torello", he was beatified in the 18th century but has not been canonized. Accounts of his miracles saving small children led people to treat him as a patron of pregnant women (pp. 3-12)…, with directions for a nine-day exercise for pregnant women to invoke a fortunate pregnancy, with a mediation devoted to San Torello on pp. 13-30. On pp. 31-34 is a responsory in verse, to be recited at the tomb of San Torello, followed by a method to invoke the mediation of San Torello, some citations from the Bible and short prayers (pp. 35-39).Very good copy in a beautiful contemporary embroidered binding.l Not in KVK; WorldCat. Beautifully embroidered contemporary pink silk over paperboards, with flowers and a border along the edges of both sides, and the initials "CM" in centre of front cover, preserved in a modern marbled slipcase. Pages: 39 pp.

In den WarenkorbA charming mid-19th-century French embroidered binding. The geometric pattern of the design, executed in interlaced gilt, green, pink, and purple threads, is rather unusual for this period, when figurative motifs were the most popular. The contents of the notebook span several years, approximately from 1844 to 1856. Included are… accounts of money paid, spent, and gifted, contacts and addresses of people in Paris and Lille (one recurring multiple times), and personal notes. The interests and concerns, the frequent appearance of female names as acquaintances (such as Pauline, Amelie, and Marie), and the style of the binding, strongly suggest that the owner was a Parisian gentlewoman. The accounts suggest that her job involved buying and supplying furniture to customers. For example, she records advancing money to Pauline "for her pendulum" and paying her for a "mobilier de dames" (a lady's dressing table). The owner appears to have been fascinated by clocks; on another page, she copied a quote from Voltaire: "L'univers m'embarrasse et je ne puis songer que cette horloge existe et n'ait pas d'horloger" ("The universe troubles me, and I cannot imagine that this clock exists without a clockmaker"). Science also features among her interests. A curious note concerns the analysis of the contents of the "eau de puits foré" (water from drilled wells) carried out by "Deville", likely the chemist Henry Deville; it includes a breakdown of chemical components (i.e. sulfates, sodium chloride) and their weight. This was copied from a contemporary published report. Another page contains a reference to the contents of a botanical publication, Histoire des plantes de Dauphiné by Dominique Villard (1786-1789). Most of the other notes relate to everyday life. The address of Monsieur Paterson, a dentist with offices at 396 rue St Honore, is followed by a positive review of his services: "sans douleur a un prix modere" (painless at a moderate price). On another page is the account of a journey by omnibus from Paris to Dole, passing through Dijon, with times. Right below is a note copied from a contemporary almanac concerning an English company called "Defender", based at Boulevard des Italiens 4, offering advantageous rates for life annuities. Duodecimo (135 x 90 mm). Three paper bifolia and one cardboard bifolium held in place by a green silk tie, seven (of eight) unnumbered leaves, one paper leaf removed or absent. Contemporary green roan, smooth spine, covers bordered with a gilt floral roll enclosing embroidered panel decorated with a geometric design of variously coloured interlaced bands, cream silk moirè endpapers, the pastedowns with pockets, leather loops at fore-edge holding a wooden pencil with metal finial, which keeps the binding closed. Housed in a green cloth flat-back box with black leather label. Gilt slightly darkened, couple of loose threads, the embroidered panels otherwise beautifully preserved and bright, short superficial split at head of front joint, occasional spot of foxing. A very good example.

In den Warenkorb[China, n.d. c 1910-20]. An indigo backed embroidered pocket bib, hand stitched, nicely done, 39.5 x 39.5 cm., very good, entirely hand-made, clean solid item. OBSCURE ! Backed by rough woven cotton, dyed with indigo, with a black cotton triangualar cloth, profusely hand embroiderd, with applique cloths. The design of the black…applique cloth is covered with a profusion of flowers, animals, butterflies & three human figures, a central male figure with 2 girls on either side. Each is elaborately clothed, wiht individual small pieces of different colored cloth, neatly done, with great creativity and unique use of very tiny stitches. The whole piece is attached on two sides to the blue cloth, thus making the top an open pocket. The top and sides are likely tied with a cord around the body. These were used on young children as an apron/bib, or as an undergarment for young girls, keeping their breasts protected. Ephemeral pieces of period folk clothing seldom survive, this being quite SCARCE but a wonderful example of this form of art, textile & clot- hing. A charming work, with a colorful dog and cat included.
