stumpwork



Metallic stumpwork silk pillow. French.
I was presented with a gorgeous metallic stumpwork tuquoise silk panel last week for assessment toward restoration. Eeeee! A dreamy object to work with, be with. The client decided to decline its restoration as s/he brought two silk panels for assessment and opted only to have work done on the other. I admit I cringed when I saw this one go back into storage for the next time it emerges it may likely be shattered and powdering.
