Embroidered edgings : job lot offer, ref. 812
This is a trade catalogue of sample strips for machine-made embroidered edgings, offered as a job lot under reference 812, probably issued in Britain or Europe in 1860 to sell to garment and textile trade buyers. Each page mounts pairs of long cream and yellow-ground strips with hand-written reference numbers beside them. For designers, the pages show a wide range of white eyelet and scalloped border patterns, from simple dotted rows to dense floral medallions, useful as ready references for trims, hem details and lace-edge motifs.
