* Patchwork. A finely embroidered patchwork panel, Lincoln, 1895, a large linen panel composed of hexagons in alternating colours of ivory and sage green, with small ivory squares between, each patch expertly embroidered in yellow and pale grey silk threads, using a variety of stitches, including satin, long and short, stem, bullion, French knots, buttonhole, feather, chain, each hexagon or square with initials, monogram, lettering, symbol, or illustration, e.g., a large pomegranate, children at play, flowers, birds, and insects, a sailing boat, 'Crowland Abbey', a pair of handscreen fans, 'Yacht Lorna Doone. N. &. S.YC.', a spider in a web, 'S.S. Mary and Nicolas', the lamb of God, an Oriental gentleman, a cat licking its paw, an elaborate Tudor rose, etc., one panel lettered 'In aid of the National Schools', 2 panels with earl's coronet lettered 'Winchilsea' and 'Edith Winchilsea' respectively, central panel with embroidered shield (becoming detached) topped by a mitre and cross within a circular frame incorporating the words 'Diocesis Lincolnienis', with the lettering 'Spalding 1895' above and 'Edward Lincoln' below, bordered all round with cream cotton (originally the backing to a silk border now perished), very occasional minor loss of stitching, a few small marks, and some light discolouration to border, backed with dark cream cotton (left and right-hand sides not stitched together), 165 x 240.5 cm (65 x 94.75 ins)QTY: (1)NOTE:A beautifully-made panel surviving in very good condition, evidently made in Lincoln to raise money for the National Schools which were established in the 19th century by the Church of England to provide an education for children of the poor. Edward King (1829-1910) was the Bishop of Lincoln from 1885 to 1910, hence his mention at the centre of the panel. He devoted himself to pastoral work, particularly amongst the poor, so this cause would presumably have been close to his heart. The Winchilsea name is prominent and therefore it seems likely that Edith Finch-Hatton, Countess of Winchilsea (1855-1944), was instrumental in organising the project. Unlike the usual 'friendship' quilts in which many different hands participate with varying results, this piece appears to have been made by a small number of highly competent hands. This leads us to speculate that members of a local embroidery guild executed the stitching, with individuals paying for a patch to be embroidered with their name, initials or chosen symbol; the finished piece may then have been displayed, or auctioned to the highest bidder.

* O'Connell (Michael, 1898-1976). Design Motifs, large panel composed of 2 widths with central vertical join, paste resist on cotton, with striking design of abstract motifs, in red, blue, orange, yellow, and green, on a cream ground, selvedges to sides, top and bottom edges machine-hemmed, a few small marks and holes (largest 2.5 x 2.5 cm), 185 x 149 cm (72.75 x 98 ins) QTY: (1)NOTE:English Modernist artist Michael O'Connell emigrated to Australia where he worked during the interwar years, before returning to England in 1937. He is best-known as a textile artist, and a number of major institutions hold examples of his work, notably the V&A, National Museum of Scotland, National Gallery of Australia in Canberra and the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. On permanent display in the Museum of English Rural Life in Reading is O'Connell's enormous wall hanging (4 metres high by 56 metres long) executed for the 1951 Festival of Britain, titled 'Diversity of British Farming'. Between 1924 and 1925 O'Connell built his own house in Beaumaris, Melbourne, using concrete blocks made from the sand there, and embellished with furniture and soft furnishings that he had made. It was named 'Barbizon' after the French school of art of the same name, and it became his studio and a gathering place for fellow artists. The building of 'Barbizon' led on to the design and production of garden furniture and sculpture - often to commission - using concrete as a medium. O'Connell also experimented with the production of linocuts, and he exhibited his paintings in Melbourne, where they were well-received; he became a member of The Arts and Crafts Society there. O'Connell was innovative and always researching new methods of creating, especially when printing onto fabric. After WWII he experimented with complex dying techniques, becoming enormously knowledgeable on the subject. Heal & Sons, Harrods, and the Edinburgh Weavers were amongst those who commissioned designs from him. His fabric designs evolved through a variety of styles and motifs, reflecting the artist's travels, interests, and the commissions he received, but without exception they are striking in colour and form.
