    Hand-embroidered and floated in a 19th-century gilded frame, "Big Bow" by Zara Merrick is crafted from a 1950s pink and gold brocade, with a turquoise stripe made from 1960s silk. The inside of the bow features a yellow silk and gold lamé fabric from the 1930s, originally part of a half-made dress that, sadly, never made it to a party. The background fabric is a charming French workwear textile from the 1930s or 1940s, adorned with a delicate star-like pattern. A gold heart, made from fabric discovered at the Brimfield antiques market, is said to have been found in the attic of a Newport mansion and is decorated with a delicate garland of forget-me-nots in gold and silver. Completing the piece, the frame is a glowing, gilded French ‘ogee’ beauty from the second half of the 19th century.
