We’ve talked before about how patterns are used in various ways in multiple mediums and techniques. Therefore, I decided to show yesterday’s pattern from a painted partlet as an extant furnishing. Silk on linen done in some kind of pulled work (probably two sided Italian cross pulled into a mesh look.) Held by the MFA. https://collections.mfa.org/objects/72361/punto-di-milano

Here’s an example of the same pattern taken from Belin’s 1535 _S’ensuyvent les Patrons de messire Antoine Belin_ https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10548017k/f9.item
