The latest patterns to be re-charted and
added to the Roland-designs collection are both signed with Bruno Börner in
Berlin and date to sometime between 1820-1870.
They are both different in style and dare I
say, even in quality! ‘Rose garland’ for example is more delicate, and intricate
in addition to being painted on better quality paper than the one I called ‘Blue’, though the later on the other hand has a nicer font for the signature.
Both are repetitive designs which can be used for borders, cushion covers,
table runners, pelmets or other household decorations.
Only a piece of the pattern is presented on
the antique charts, and I have to admit that without the use of modern software
it would have taken a bit of calculating and possible trials-and-errors to
achieve a matching square. The designs look repetitive, but typical of hand
painted patterns – they don’t always match up. So in re-charting them I have
kept as true to the originals as possible, but took some creative liberty in
the digital version in order to make all the design fit nicely together.
I would love to see someone get creative
with ‘Blue’ and stitch it in a different colour scheme.
