EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning embroidered christening cushion from 1644 is a true masterpiece of needlework. The intricate design depicts the biblical scene of Moses being discovered in a basket among the bulrushes by the Pharaoh's daughter and her attendants. Signed 'M.L. 1644', this piece showcases both the skill and artistry of its creator.
The delicate stitches bring to life the figures, animals, and foliage with remarkable detail and precision. Each thread carefully chosen to create texture, depth, and movement within the composition. The colors used are rich and vibrant, adding to the overall beauty of this work of art.
Displayed at Parham House in West Sussex, UK, this embroidery is not just a decorative object but also a historical artifact that tells a story from centuries past. It captures a moment from one of the most well-known stories in the Bible with grace and elegance.
As we admire this piece today, we can appreciate the time, effort, and talent that went into creating it over 300 years ago. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of fine craftsmanship and how art has always been an essential part of human expression throughout history.
