Columbines from de Sera in a border at the V&A. They have them dated non-specifically to the 1600’s. The embroidery is done in a voided style, but I can’t quite see the stitches well enough to determine what stitch. It isn’t the pulled stitches of the apron we recently looked at, however. Accession number 73-1897. https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O292512/border/

This is the BNF copy of “Le livre de lingerie, compose par maistre Dominique de Sera, italien.” https://archive.org/details/sera1584lelivrebnfbtv1b8613384g/Sera1584LelivreBNFbtv1b8613384g
