Card 13 x 10 cm Embroidery 7.5 x 7.5 cm This is a card with Petit Point embroidery. You can think of it as something like extremely fine cross-stitch. It is said that Marie Antoinette and the women of the Habsburg family favored it, and it was once used as a motif for high-class tableware. When you find an elegant pattern like a tiny dot painting, try observing it and thinking, "Is this a Petit Point motif!" It's the complexity of being an ordinary flower pattern at first glance, but when you look closely, it's like digital art, an antique. I can't get enough of it. This seems to have been an item that could be selected for telegrams, and I wonder if it was around 3000 yen. I couldn't find the same one, so this is just a guess based on the size. Since it was for telegrams, I don't think it's hand-embroidered. However, it is very detailed and has a presence that is rarely seen today ^_^ ▼ Excerpt from Wikipedia A technique developed in Vienna in the 18th century, using a magnifying glass to hand-embroider 121-225 tent stitches (similar to half cross-stitch, a technique of passing a lot of thread on the back of the fabric) per square centimeter.
