William Morris and a Milos Pholegandros Embroidery
Milos Pholegandros is an island in the Greek Cyclades archipelago. This particular embroidery from the island dates to the eighteenth century. It was probably originally part of a valance. It is made on a linen ground with coloured silk threads. The embroidery was carried out using chain stitch, cross stitch, long-armed cross stitch, darning stitch and satin stitch.
