Point de Hongrie

Picture
Consisting of chevron-shaped embroidery stitches, point de Hongrie textiles are identified as upholstery fabrics in colonial inventories and were also used to create bedhangings. Known alternately as Bargello or flame stitch, this embroidered textile was traditionally stitched in wool on canvas and generally featured colorful geometric designs, with the occasional stylized floral motif.
