Gold Embroidered Mitre
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London houses a gold-embroidered mitre, made of silk and further decorated with gemstones, which was designed by Augustus W.N. Pugin (1812-1852) around 1848-1850, for the St. Augustine's Abbey, which Pugin had built on the grounds of his own house in Ramsgate. The mitre was probably produced by the firm of Lonsdale and Tylor.
