  • 9 Opus Anglicum

    The Latin term (meaning "English work") applied to embroidery of English make during the latter part of the 13th and early part of the 14th centuries when this work was at its best. The embroidery was a combination of various stitches. An object is worked in a spiral line from the centre in a fine chain stitch and often pressed in at certain parts by heated irons, giving the effect of raised work. Drapery is generally worked in feather stitch crossed with other threads producing a zig-zag or diaper design.
