Military, civilain and religious embroideries made between 1848 and 1960.
We bought an old stock of embroideries made in Lyon between 1848 and 1960.
As leaders of the company did not want to work for german occupation army, there is no production for WWII armies, but fo WWI ,yes!
We especially found embroidered insignias of different units, made on horizon blue fabric.
Quality as nothing to do with asiatic current productions. Take advantage of this opportunity to complete uniforms, make nice copies of uniforms for re enactment with original parts, or just collect nice productions of old time.

Mortuary embroidery created by Ets David. Silver embroidered skulls on femurs and tears. "Sane Teeth "
In an oval: 23 cm high.
The David establishments were a renowned company, active from 1848 and which closed its doors at the turn of the 1950s/1960s.
We recently purchased the stock that had been lying dormant in the family of descendants since the closure.
In particular, we found numerous mortuary embroideries, which were used for wakes and funeral ceremonies.
They are all made on black canvas supports. They were embroidered on panels from which each embroidery was then cut out individually.
We have therefore separated these embroideries to sell them one by one.
Stock is extremely limited, 2 to 4 units.
You will use them to your liking.
Several of our customers have integrated them into “Memento Mori”, thus taking up a tradition that dates back to antiquity.

French venerable master , free masson, circa 1900. Choice 2. No lining, some colour moved.
This "collar" has never been worn and is not finished on the lining, it was used as a model to allow customers to choose from the different variations offered.
It is especially interesting to see the quality of the productions of the time, which are superb artisanal achievements, compared to the mass productions "made in Asia".
Unfortunately, over time, infiltrations have discolored the top of the cord a little...price to match.
For the collection, very decorative, especially in a frame.
