Embroidery
In ultimate terms of delicate quality, grace and beauty there is no substitute for hand embroidery work when it comes to ceremonial parade King's/Queen's Colours, Banners, Standards, Guidons or Regalia etc. This applies particularly to Royal, Diplomatic, Military, Diocese, Civic, Lodge, Historical or Heraldic commissions.
For intricate orders we have more than 450 different brilliant colour shades of acrylic silk yarns which to choose from in addition to a wide range of metallic threads. Undoubtedly the most aesthetically pleasing results are achieved with designs using gold and silver mylar bullion wire. Mylar wires are not precious metals. Unlike real gold and silver they are purposely made having special qualities of long lasting colour retention and lustre. Caution however is required with wire work. Items cannot be rolled away after use for fear of bending or distorting the wire. They must be stored protected laying flat or draped hanging.
Prospective clients are welcome to visit our premises by appointment during normal business hours. Alternatively, in very selected cases, examples can be sent by post on short term loan.
