EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from Coif, England in the year 1601/25. Created by an unknown artist during the 17th century, this exquisite coif is a testament to the intricate craftsmanship of that era. The coif features a stunning combination of buttonhole wheels and eyelet holes, showcasing the mastery of cut and drawn work in antique hem double rowed openwork interlocking lace overcast and satin stitches. Every detail has been meticulously embroidered with silk and linen using bullion satin and square chain stitches, resulting in a breathtaking floral design that adorns the entire fabric. The edges are beautifully edged with buttonhole loops, adding an extra touch of elegance to this already mesmerizing creation. The use of woven picots, darned squares, darned and woven wheels, as well as darned and overcast bars further enhances the complexity and beauty of this textile masterpiece. Made from linen plain weave fabric, it represents both skillful weaving techniques and impeccable needlework. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery space for heritage art objects like this one, this Coif serves as a tangible link to England's rich artistic history. Despite its age, it remains remarkably preserved thanks to careful conservation efforts. As we admire this extraordinary piece today through this print captured by Heritage Images' lens - we can't help but marvel at its timeless beauty that transcends centuries.
