Embroidery Exhibition at the Musde Galliera
EMBROIDERED HANGING
‘CHASSE AU FAUCON.” BY MME. FERNANDE MAILLAUD
Madame Paquin. For a more personal feeling
combined with individuality, the single exhibits,
though in many instances rather ob-
scurely hung or intermingled with others
in a bazaar-like manner, give a better
idea of the progress of the craft, and
the artist apart from a machine. In
technique and excellent colour the two
large hangings, Chasse au Faucon and
Le Vanneur, by Madame Fernande
Maillaud, are distinguished, her re-
strained use of red, and dark blue
borders with their intermittent spots of
grey, being fascinatingly simple. For
impressiveness by size and workman-
ship the exhibits by Madame Ory-
Robin leave little to be desired.
Exception only might be taken to her
use of strong and fragile materials, string
playing an important part in outlining
and decorative spots in straw. Similar
characteristics are observable in the
work of Miss Sabine Desvallieres.
One turned with a feeling of un-
affected delight to the exhibits of
Madame Christine Van der Meer and
Madame Elise Prioleau. In each the
inherent quality of the material has
been admirably utilised with the design.
The panel Richard Cceur de Lion, exe-
cuted by the latter after the design by
Jessie M. King, is a marvel of needle-
craft ; the intricacies of the design have
Mlodzianowska. The
by Clement Mere are
been flawlessly accom-
plished by varied and un-
trammelled stitches, the
colour of the silks giving
an enamel-like brilliance.
Another piece of work by
the same collaborators en-
titled The Four Queens also
claims a special interest.
For masterly execution
the store, or blind, exhibited
by Edouard Prive is one of
the most outstanding pieces
of white needle-craft in the
exhibition, containing as it
does examples of all known
stitches and styles of em-
broidery. Notable, too,
for its admirable work-
manship and colour is a
chasuble by Miss Marie
unique and individual pieces
also worthy of more than a
LAWN FLOUNCE (VOLANT LINON)
