Dear Colleagues in the Decorative Arts:

 

I received a request from a customer (patron) who is looking for images and/or a possible citation of 17th Century (maybe earlier, 15th or 16th Century) room dividers that "employ a patchwork screen in the tradition of embroidery of needlepoint but are not stitched."  They were used as room dividers or fireplace screens and possibly for heraldry purposes.  Most were made of cloth with pieces of fabric stitched together (but not needlepoint), affixed to a wooden frame.  Please e-mail me directly with some semblance of what this person may be talking about because I don't exactly know-thanks! J
