Encyclopedie des ouvrages de dames - 1900 edition - Antique French Embroidery Book

An exquisite little book, still regarded as a bible of embroidery.

First published in 1886, this is the revised edition prepared shortly after the Universal Exhibition of 1889, as noted by the editor.

Kept in its original box, the book remains in near-perfect condition and retains its gilt top edge.

A beautiful collectible for anyone interested in needlework, it also offers a fascinating glimpse into the styles and trends of its time.
