Hand-embroidered basket-and-bow motifs in satin stitch and bullion with couched gilt passing thread; silk satin face, hand-gathered ruffle, cotton sateen lining. The floral basket motif with rickrack-like lattice stems was immensely popular between 1895 and 1915 in both British and American domestic needlework. The color palette—lavender, pale yellow, green, and cream—also reflects turn-of-the-century tastes in boudoir and parlor décor.
