| This
intricate sachet combines a number of different techniques. A sachet is
just a general term used to describe a small bag for all sorts of
articles. Needlework sachets were often used for handkerchiefs, brush sets,
underwear and so on.
The central panel
here has an antique design described as heraldic dragons, made from bobbin lace.
An attractive bobbin lace has been used for the edging of the sachet.
The panels surrounding the centre are broderie anglaise, whilst the corner panels
are decorated with embroidered net. To finish off the design a fine trim of
ribbon has been added to frame the central panel.
