Look at the wonderful pattern up close
A close up of this style of Italian embroidery- not to be confused with a style of embroidery from the Scandanavian countries that is called "Hardanger". When I was first learning about embroidery techniques, they all looked the same. But I learned from dealers and other collectors and read lots of books and slowly became knowledgeable and smarter at looking for the pieces I wanted to add to my collection.
