Creator

Royal School of Needlework: Created by the Royal School of Art Needlework as miniaturised versions of designs. Original designs were miniaturised and either traced or copied onto 'Design Cards' which were sent out to clients for next day approval. This was part of the work of the 'Painting Room' sometimes referred to as the Paintroom, the department responsible for all design and draftsmanship.

Scope and content

Photograph of a design showing a hanging basket framed by a curtain. The basket contains a floral bouquet and swags, including roses and what look like carnations or cornflowers. There is a reference number on the top 'no. 800'. The design seems to be in the style of the late eighteenth early nineteenth century.
