- Note
- From record: The embroidery work is influenced Bargello work, from Florentine. From Wiki: Bargello is a type of needlepoint embroidery consisting of upright flat stitches laid in a mathematical pattern to create motifs. Traditional designs are very colorful and use many hues of one color to create intricate shading effects. The name comes from a museum in Bargello where the 17th century chairs with the flame pattern resided. Those chairs were the original influence of the technique and also the designs.
