This regal design, featuring a Unicorn passant, is taken from a Charles II (reign 1660-1685) embroidered mirror frame, which was part of the important Micheál & Elizabeth Feller Collection.

The majority of the collection was donated to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford in 2014 but this wonderful 17th century frame remained in their Upper Slaughter Manor home, finally being sold at auction in 2021.

The Unicorn design is part of a series of kits, including the Feller Peach Tree, which have been reimagined by Kate Barlow in raised embroidery techniques. It offers the intermediate+ stitcher the chance to experience a wide variety of exciting 'Stumpwork' techniques including Padded Long & Short Stitch, Needlelace, Burden Stitch, Padded Satin, Gilt Passing Couched Outlines, Over-Twisted Moss Stitch, Padding, Couched Gimp, and many many more.
