"19th Century Glass Bead Embroidery Table."
Splendid Table made in Embroidery of micro Glass Beads. XIXth period. Beautiful mountain farm yard scene. Frame in gilded stuck wood with its original gilding. Good condition. Dimensions: 66 cm by 54 cm. The shortbread technique, which no longer exists today, has long remained a real mystery. At the end of the 17th century, objects of total perfection appeared in France, which developed in the 18th century and continued in the 19th century. There are over 150 tiny beads (about 1mm) per square centimeter. The name "sandblasted" simply means that the refined objects made from it are covered with pearls as fine as sand. The production is so small that it is attributed to anonymous hands, to monasteries or to nobility ladies. This art developed in the first half of the 19th century before dying out.
