VERY RARE ANTIQUE ORIGINAL HERTZ & WEGENER BERLIN WOOL-WORK PAPER PATTERN
This is a very rare and unusual survival: a large original paper pattern for a Berlin Wool-Workembroidery panel, dating from the mid-nineteenth century. It is hand-painted (I think) on squared paper in strongly coloured opaque gouache paint.
It was made by Hertz & Wegener of Berlin, whose name is printed below the image. Their pattern number 13,400 is printed at the top right corner.
The subject is Easter Morning, showing Mary Magdalene kneeling in front of Christ after the Resurrection.The sheet size is 74 cms by 59 cms, and the image size within the plain border is 57 cms by 45 cms.
The item is delicate and has some condition issues of which buyers should be aware:
  • Although the paint colours in the image remain very strong and vibrant, the paper has darkened with age and is duller than it appears in the flash photographs, and there is some light water staining;
  • The edges of the paper are chipped and frayed all round; there is creasing but there are no tears affecting the coloured image;
  • The paper sheet is laid down on a canvas backing which is soiled and discoloured but not significantly frayed or torn;
  • The item was discovered rolled up and has been kept in a plastic tube for the whole of the 40 years that it’s been in my possession. This means it has been protected from light but will require to be flattened for conservation or framing.
