Some of my most popular posts are when I write about my fascination with hankies. I wrote about hankies in the following posts:

Hanky Primer #1 Monogrammed Hankies
Hanky Primer #2 More Monogrammed Hankies
Hanky Primer #3 Embroidered & Petit point Hankies

I am not sure when my fascination with Appenzell began, but all whitework embroidery always catches my eye. I think I was the only person interested in buying hankies at estate sales for years, and I tried to keep it a secret, I mean who buys antique hankies?

What is it? That is my question. Appenzell? Madeira? Reticella? Hong Kong? China?

Most people call this Appenzell, while some say it is from China. The Tourism Board from Appenzell has a video on Youtube describing how embroidery is done.

Click here to see on You Tube

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzsNL7nxfvY]

The video discusses the history of embroidery in the region. In Appenzell, Switzerland, embroidery has been a cottage industry for hundreds of years. In the early 1800’s, whitework embroidery really gained foothold. Famine in the country made it possible to earn a living embroidering. According to annatextiles.ch, two Frenchwomen gave an embroidery course in Appenzell in 1818.

The work would go to spa cities, where the wealthy would place custom orders. Example of hanky from the St. Gallen Museum, 2nd half of 19th century.

from annatextiles.ch

Appenzell hand embroidery really gained foothold around 1820, with the women of farm families doing the work. Machine embroidery was developed in 1850 which did the work of 40 people. Hand embroidery was still done with 70-90 stitches in use. Many different individuals would work on the same piece, with each person specializing in a certain technique.

By 1880, fine hand embroidery was on the decline, and was confined to Appenzell Innerrhoden. By 1920 half the women in the region did the embroidery to bring income into the household. Most farms were too small to support a family with income, so more income had to be generated. By WW2 there were 3500 women embroidering, with school girls working 3-7 hours a day on school days, and 12 hours a day on holidays. After the war, embroidery began to fall from favor, and the number of embroiderers dropped to 2000.

The ink you see is caused by a pricking device used to punch holes in the finished drawing. Graphite dust was then placed over the holes, to transferring the design to the cloth. It was then fixed with something to keep it from smearing. The video shows them spraying it.

The video talks about how the designs were limited by the artist, and people profiles were added after 1914 after the influence of an artist.

Some photos of work from the video are displayed below.

I feel the photos above are of items made in the 19th century, based on what I saw in the museum.

In the 20’s, a hanky would sell from 50 to 500 Swiss francs depending on the complexity. I couldn’t find a way to convert that to today’s dollars.

Earlier this year I managed to add a trip to the Appenzell Museum in Switzerland to a trip itinerary.
I did not have a lot of time to plan the trip, so I picked the Appenzell Museum because of the film I saw above. (If you are planning a trip, please add St. Gallen Museum to your list, I didn’t have time, but should have added it due to their much larger textile collection.)

We had a car so it was nice to wander through the Austrian countryside to Switzerland. The weather was typical spring– rain. That is not unusual, and just reminded me of Portland, Oregon.

I love exploring the countryside rather than trying to drive in big cities in a foreign country. I do love traffic circles, so much that sometimes we have to circle twice trying to figure out which way to go.

Of course, no drive through the country is complete with out pictures of cows…

goats…..

sheep…..

frolicking……

We made it to Appenzell. The museum does close at noon, so this was literally a 20 minute tour. There are many floors, but I asked to be pointed towards embroidery, and off we went.

I had to speed tour the exhibit. I was looking for “true Appenzell” embroidery, so I could be able to recognize it. What I am about to share with you was photographed through glass so the photos are not very good, but they are better than nothing.

Fist I would like to share with you a photograph of a woman from the turn of the century in costume, beautifully embroidered.

Check out some of the details on one of the collars. Notice the motifs and embroidery techniques used. They loved using these little needle lace wheel inserts that looks alot like reticella. They are excellent at padded satin stitch, and many types of buratto work (that open lattice looking work)

Below is another collar.

Click on the photo, and then right click on it to get the popup menu and select “Open in new tab”. You can then click again and see the photo enlargement.

The collar below has bunny rabbits embroidered on it–how charming.

I couldn’t find dates on each collar,, but one date in this display cabinet said from the 1840’s.

The needle lace “wheels” in Appenzell embroidery remind me alot of Italian Reticella lace. In one display they had a number of pieces of Reticella:

I can’t read German very well, and alot of my photos turned out blurry without a tripod, so we have to make do with what I have here. (Sammlung means collection).

It was very popular to insert needle lace, and here is a fine example of inserted “wheels” (my words).

The wheel below has 4 of those circles in the center of the wheel. Notice the “petal” structure in the cloth below– it is same as the collar above. However the leaves below are very artistic, with half padded satin stitch, and half seed stitches. I see this technique used on alot of Madeira embroidery.

In addition to the little needle lace inserts, you see a lot of open type buratto work, drawnwork in the background. The sampler below is a great representation of technique. Don’t forget to right click on the photo and open it in a new tab so you can blow it up and look at the different techniques.

In the museum and in the video, they reference the need to indicate authentic appenzell work with a label

I’ve seen hankies with this label, but labels don’t always survive, so I thought I would share with you hankies I saw in the museum. I notice that the work from the 1800’s is different from the work in the 1900’s. The fabric is different, more of a sheer batiste vs. linen, and the designs are more ornate.

This group of hankies is from the 1870’s:

I am not sure of the age of the hankies below. It is similar to many hankies I own.

Aren’t these hankies lovely and delicate!

The hankies below are from the 1900’s

The item below is not a hanky, but typical Appenzell– a tablecloth.

The hankies below do look like some of the hankies we see today on Ebay.

I kept digging. I am looking for hankies that say Appenzell, and found one on the internet from an old Ebay auction. This did not have an Appenzell label that I recall, but it did have a Swiss box. It may have had a label, but I didn’t save the photo. Stoffels was a textile company in St. Gallen (the marketing HQ for Appenzell, basically). Original box, tissue and ribbon.

The next photo is of a hanky that has an original label on it: It has two labels, one says Hand Work Brode Main, and the other Schmid-Linder 6000 Lucerne Switzerland. It came in an original envelope that says Appenzell Swiss Made Alba.

As you can see, these two examples are two degrees of quality– both likely from the 20th century. The top hanky is truly typical of many that you see on Ebay as Appenzell. I remembered I had an Appenzell box called Appenzell effect.

The embroidery is cute, but not the same type that I am trying to research. However it does show you the style of flower that was embroidered.

I tried to see if anyone else has made the comparison on the internet. I found Elizabeth Kurella, on her website, did have a comparison of Appenzell vs. China:

Lacemerchant.com

Chinese / Swiss

She notes that Chinese fabric is more open, less stable, the thread less silky, the stitches not consistent, the ladderwork looser, motifs more graceful. The petals are tapered on the hanky on the right. ( I purchased her Whitework hanky book, a great book if you collect 19th century hankies. I’ll settle for owning at least one in her book!!!)

So where were the hankies made that were imported from the 20’s to the 60’s? Well, the answer lies with a company in Hong Kong called the Swatow Lace Company, incorporated in 1924 and dissolved in 1964. There is a pinterest board that has more information on the Swatow Lace Company. They have a photo of a hanky with a label. The hanky is marked $18.50

. Honestly, I’m not too impressed with the level of detail. Detail, embroidered linen handkerchief.

Here is another hanky with the same label, ebay auction.

Here is a vintage box with a Swatow label from Ebay:

The Swatow Lace Company marketed hankies from a town of Swatow, which was 180 miles from Hong Kong. I found an article here about the town of Swatow and how the embroidery trade stopped when it was taken over by the communists in 1949. This was a cottage industry, embroidery made by farmers families, just like in Appenzell, Switzerland. Prior to that, Swatow produced 24,000,000 handkerchiefs a year! The fine hankies would sell for $50/dozen wholesale, and sold in the U.S. for $20 each. That was a lot of money in the ’40’s. So roughly half of the hankies on the world market came from Switzerland, and half came from Swatow.

Everyone says that this embroidery is a lost art and almost no one has the skill to do it anymore. I keep thinking about how that may not be true. I went looking for current imports of hankies and look what I found made in China:

It appears that the new hankies are more over the top– they are completely covered with embroidery, right through the center. Much of the embroidery has a Asian design influence, cranes, etc. The designs seem a bit more angular than the older Swatow/ Appenzell hankies. They certainly are worth looking at for purchase– the amount of labor that it took to make these is incredible.

I think my hankies are vintage and look different from the new stuff coming out today.

I have been studying my hankies to see if there is a difference between them, the embroidery, the linen, etc.

The China hanky is on top. (above). Below, is a closeeup of the China hanky.

How do I know? Well I bought it because it has a label in it. From a San Francisco dealer. Given the age of China town, who knows how old it is. I think the linen is equivalent to hankies I see with Irish Linen stickers on it. The sticker below really looks vintage, doesn’t it.

The take-away that I have from all of this research is that there were two embroidery centers a world apart, and not only were their labors over hankies the same, they had the same family life, of growing up in a farm setting, unable to make ends meet with farming, and women and children sacrificed everything making beautiful works of art.

Here are some of my hankies that I think are Appenzell 20th century. They are totally encrusted with embroidery. You can click on the hankies and look at enlarged photos. (Right click the second time)

I really like the circular design of roses on the one below

I think the one below may be early 1900’s.

Comparing the linen to the older Appenzell hankies, all the ones below look like the tight weave of the early hankies. Remember, they also look the the hanky in the Stoffels box from St. Gallen.

I used the one below to make a ring bearer pillow. We added a silk peony on top for fun. (A great wedding idea!)

Ring Bearer Appenzell Hanky Pillow

My conclusion is that each hanky must stand on its own merit, Unless you actually have a label, you may not be able to determine the origin. If you love the design of the hanky, the workmanship stitching is well done, you should consider it for that reason.

If you are interested in purchasing an encrusted hanky on eBay, they are often listed as “pulled thread” hankies or Appenzell hankies. Using those words in a search should help you find one that you love. They are a fabulous present for a bride to carry. I made the ring bearer pillow out of an Appenzell hanky. You can purchase them for as low as $35, although many websites sell them for as much as $400. The average price on eBay is in the $80- $100, at least this year. I am talking about the 20th century hankies, not the 19th century hankies, which range from $150-$600.

Thoughts? Please keep in mind I am not a professional researcher, I am merely a linen lover who is trying to figure out what I have. I am amazed that I was able to get as far as I did without help. Anyone have an Appenzell catalog or a Swatow catalog to share?

I have focused on 20th century Appenzell hankies. I would like to follow up with an article on 19th century hankies. If you’d like to continue reading about hankies, here are links to my other articles.

Your guide to learn all about antique monogrammed hankies. This is the third post of a series of four on antique hankies and linens. This is a repost of an old blog post for those that may have missed it the first time around.
This primer is about embroidered hankies. There is very little written on collecting embroidered hankies, and I feel that sharing a huge amount of photos is the best way to educate you on hankies. Many people are concerned about where a hanky was made. I am more concerned about the quality of what is in my hand, rather than whether it still has a label attached. However, if you’re not able to judge well, buying hankies with a label is a way to start a collection.

A collection doesn’t have to be 300 hankies–you can just purchase a dozen to put in that antique box. Think about your guest room. What do you have in the nightstand drawer? A box on the dresser? How about that top drawer in the dresser. Wouldn’t it be amazing to open it up, and have a wonderful display of hankies in there. Think about being a guest, and you’ve gotten up too early, because you’re on a different time zone. You’ve already read the magazines in the room, enjoyed the water and snack left on the desk. You don’t want to disturb anyone, but every drawer in the dresser is laid out with all these gems!

Who cares if they think you’re the crazy hanky lady. It’s alot less work than the crazy cat lady.

Click here for Primer #1, and here for Primer #2. Click here for using hankies under centerpieces at a wedding. On more linens, here is a link to using antique tablecloths at a wedding.I do petitpoint myself, so admiring fine petitpoint and embroidered hankies was a natural extension of that.

Don’t forget to click on the hanky if you want to view an enlargement.

Petit Point Hankies

I have only found Switzerland stickers on petit point hankies. They may be made elsewhere, but I’ve not seen other labels. The fabric used to make petit point hankies tends to be a linen or cotton lawn fabric.

The photos below have 3 hankies. The quality of all three are very high. Check out the workmanship. The edge is very well done.

Pansies are very popular to collect. Think about the Victorian era and the popular flowers then–and you’ll find them on a hanky!

This is a wonderful hanky. I’ve shown a tiny spot in the photo, but it is inconsequential based on the beautiful work–and the fact that it is embroidered in 4 corners.

This is a combination of petit point and crewel embroidery. It is very common to combine the techniques.

This poppy is very well done. The floral spray is very large, worthy of the best collection!

This is a wonderful hanky. I sometimes wonder if a hanky with drawnwork isn’t made in China. So I look for high quality work. This passes the test.

Awesome work! Iris is a wonderful old-fashioned flower.

Poppies are a popular theme too. Great quality, nice colors.

I love the fact that there is a simple rose in each corner. Nice quality, even though it is only one tine rose in each corner.

Violets are popular, they fly out when I find them.

Wonderful made in Switzerland hanky set. I love the tiny colored embroidery. Notice the edging isn’t as high quality is Madeira hankies.

Crewel Embroidery Hankies

These are made all over, from Switzerland to the Philippines. Again, look for quality in the workmanship. They are works of art, so look for the thoughtful design.

Nice work, quality embroidery. This gets a thumbs up.

I totally love this hanky. It’s definitely one of my favorites! There is a border woven into the fabric,
an interesting design. I sure hope I kept this one… it’s got to be somewhere.

These 3 hankies are a good quality. The center hanky is interesting–you often find a single rose the the stem going from the center of the hanky.

This hanky says “ALL COTTON” MADE IN SWITZERLAND. It’s a nice quality of heavy crewel embroidery. You can feel the difference–it is not on linen. Notice how the bouquet starts in the corner. I’m baffled as sometimes they make the spray upside down.

This one is a favorite! Don’t you just love the garden scene someone did? I think this was amateur embroidered, but very well!

This is a wonderful hanky with applique bows, and bullion technique embroidered flowers.

Beyond cute! Between the little bird and the flower faces, who could resist?
I took the label off because I washed this adorable hanky.

Good quality, extremely fine work, great quality cloth. A real winner.

Very heavy embroidered pansies on a cotton cloth. It’s sort of boring as the decoration is small,
but I liked the work because it is very well done crewel.

The cloth is very distinctive–made in Switzerland. The embroidery is a nice quality. I’ve
seen this fabric on a lot of Swiss hankies. It’s almost like a mini-calico printed linen.
One caveat is that the edge isn’t as nicely done, it looks machine-finished to me.

Great quality on the flowers, but this is machine made. I wish I had taken a photo of the back.

Interesting, looks like someone did one petit point flower, and then switched. It’s a really fine quality linen cloth.

This is an interesting boxed set. They always charge more if there’s a box. I got the set because I loved the birds. Isn’t it cute!

Very Victorian Basket. The crewel rose is well done, as is the basket. However I don’t think the flowers
are a great quality. The overall look is nice.

Machine embroidered silk flower. Really nicely done for a machine! It looks like a Royal Society Silk embroidery.

I totally love these! Any hanky with an animal is a winner for me!

Hankies with Embroidered Borders

Embroidered borders often wind up as a bridal hanky or gift. They can coordinate with wedding colors and are great for the bride that hates lace–and you can’t find a monogram.

Both of these are winners. The work is amazing. Hard to find!

I’ve seen work like this with Madeira, Switzerland and China stickers. Look for quality work.

Similar to the 3 above, but likely Madeira.

Possibly Hong Kong or Madeira? Similar to the 4 above.

These tend to be sold as Appenzell. If they have the grey pencil underneath that doesn’t wash out, I wonder if they are from Hong Kong. These don’t, the two top ones are more elaborate expensive Appenzell. They often sell on Ebay as pulled thread hankies. I did see one on Ebay once with an Appenzell sticker.

Madeira Organdy

Made in Switzerland. Superfine quality. Check out the work that went into attaching the border. Hard to believe you can pick this up on Ebay for under $20. The original price was probably around $75.

Beautiful quality work! Swiss.

Totally fabulous border! Almost always Swiss.

Madeira Applique, Shadow-work and Embroidery

Madeira hankies are very distinctive. While they are best known for the monograms, there are some very fine floral hankies.

This has applique leaves, organdy inset–alot of work. A little funky for me.

Really fabulous high quality embroidery. Notice how the bow has an organdy insert–right through the border. I think the wheat stock is unusual. Probably has some meaning to be included in a bouquet. Notice the border. When you have a hanky that has a border woven into the fabric, it is almost always a more expensive hanky.

Fantastic hanky with embroidery in every corner. Could be Madeira, could be Swiss. The edge is hand-rolled and hand-hemmed.
You want that. Newer ones are machine hemmed.

OMG! Isn’t this cute. Living in rain country (Portland, Or has only 60 sunny days/year) I had to have this one!
It’s a Madeira hanky. Notice that it has a border woven into the fabric.

Has the Burmel label, made in Madeira. The most common look in Madeira floral hanky.

Slightly less elaborate than the previous Madeira hanky.

Another applique hanky. The applique rose was enhanced with embroidery to give it more of a 3D look.

Maderia 3D Organdy Applique Hankies

These hankies are really fun. Some collectors look only for these.

Really fun hanky–stuffed cherries.

This hanky had the original Madeira sticker. Tough to find. Love the grapes! Definitely a show hanky!
Isn’t it wild!

I have to say this is my favorite—what an unusual motif!

Great blue roses!

Monster pink rose!

Care & Cleaning of Hankies

Sure, you can throw it in the laundry in a laundry bag. I know, most people think that’s sinful. Just don’t put it in the dryer. If you don’t put them in the laundry bag, they wind up going the way of the missing sock. I will actually iron them while they are still damp. That’s about 10 minutes out of the washer.

For serious hankies with lots of embroidery, just soak in the laundry tub for 5 minutes to 5 days in Biz. They’ll come out good as new. I rinse with a bit of vinegar to make sure all the soap is out. I never use starch with linens, they say it attracts bugs. The reason I don’t like starch is it gets on my iron and is nasty to clean up. If you must use starch, spray it on the reverse side of the item you are ironing. I prefer to use sizing (not as heavy as starch) if I’ve got trouble with an embroidered piece that isn’t squaring up. Don’t forget to iron it embroidery side down with a (once) fluffy towel underneath.

I don’t know if I’ve inspired you to collect hankies. Think about carrying an emergency hanky in your purse. It can be folded up in your wallet or makeup bag. It’s much smaller than a pack of tissues, and alot more durable. I’m not a blow-you-nose kind of girl, but I am a cry-baby, so even if it’s a just a bad pollen day, I’m not going to dab my eyes with a pile of lint from a tissue that has started to fall apart in my purse. Besides, it dries in-between sobs, hee hee.

A Lesson on Hankies #2: More Monogrammed Hankies

We use affiliate links in our posts and our site. This means if you make a purchase using these links, we may earn a small commission. You don’t pay a cent more than you would otherwise! Our full disclosure is available under About.

Your guide to learn all about antique monogrammed hankies. This is the second post of a series of four on antique hankies and linens. This is a repost of an old blog post for those that may have missed it the first time around.

Photos are copyrighted and may not be used without my permission!

I am continuing from the previous post–it got so large I needed to break it up. Why am I doing this? Because when I first got interested in hankies, I couldn’t find anything on embroidered hankies. There are books on print hankies, but nothing to give you an idea of what is out there.

Monogrammed hankies require that you discern between machine made newer hankies, recent imported hankies (just look at the ones on Ebay for sale from China), and low quality hankies.

The finest quality hankies are always on a handkerchief lawn fabric–basically this is a very thin linen fabric. Sometimes it is a cotton fabric. There are hankies from the 50’s & 60’s, I think by Desco, that are a cotton poly blend. Normally I would say, “Pass”, but actually, if you use a hanky, this blend hanky is kinder to a very sore nose. Tuck a hanky in your purse or wallet for emergencies, it takes up less room than a pack of tissue, doesn’t get tattered and is a lifesaver when you need one! Many have high quality embroidery, so that is what I judge them on. They have a softer feel to them, and it smells different when you are ironing it. It is always easy to tell the differnce by the smell!

I attended a wedding last weekend, and I could see why grandma tucked a hanky in her bra…it would have been handy…except can you imagine the fun my nephews and nieces would have if they saw me do that!

There a photos on the internet of hankies used on bouquets in a wedding. Search on brides bouquet wedding hanky, you get a bunch of photo’s on Google. I think Martha Stewart wrote about this somewhere. Use the hanky wrapped around a bouquet with ribbon. I’ll have to do one so I’m not “stealing” anyone’s photo’s. Check here, I’ll add it later.

I wrote Hanky Primer #1 HERE. There will be a Primer #3 in the future. The whole hanky collecting thing got started for me when I purchased an antique hanky box. It is in my guest room. What do you put in an antique hanky box if not hankies? Imagine spending the night and opening up the box and finding all these wonderful treasures to look at!

Plain and Simple Monograms

There are alot of monogrammed hankies that have a wonderful script monogram, but not a bunch of fussy embroidery. This may be a consideration for a gift for a bride. When considering a hanky for a gift, try to get the first initial. Most women would use a hanky with their first name initial, but if you’re getting a hanky for a male, use the inital of his last name.

Great monogram–a little fun with the flowers–a great French style script complete with the flowers.

This is a great hanky. Very simple. It is by Marghab in their Simplicity Pattern

One of my favorite plain hankies. The workmanship is amazing.

This hanky has a smaller monogram on it. The edge is unusual, they are usually a rolled hand-stitched hem.

Is this fun or what! There are little dolphin heads on this monogram.

Purchased at the same time as the previous hanky, this was a cute hanky!

Not super-plain, but all the embroidery is associated with the monogram, very French in style.

Can you see the quality of this hanky? The drawnwork, the double monogram, simple elegant, wonderful!

The Skinny Monogram

I put these in a category by themselves. They are a good design for a gift if someone doesn’t like things too fussy. A good choice after the plain monogram.

Hmmm. When I see too much grey, I wonder: Imported Hanky? It’s sort of skimpy, even though it’s nicely embroidered.

Test: This is a machine-made hanky. Remember to turn it over if you think it may be–and look for that bobbin thread.

This is a winner in the category. A narrow N on openwork surrounded by fine embroidery.

I like the script embroidery of this L. Just a bit of flair to “jazz it up”.

The embroidery is wonderful–a double monogrm filled with embroidery on a background spray of flowers.
I love the “relaxed look” of this R.

Hankies with Embroidery on One Side

These tall skinny letters are intriguing to me. I think that they are in a class by themselves. They are a distinct style. Do you suppose one person in Madeira made all 3?

The nodding applique flower is really pretty. Unusual too.

The open cutwork making up the “D” is very nice.

Great quality. The rosebuds are very unusual!

Floral Letter Hankies

This is a distinct category–there are alot of hankies where the letters are out of flowers. Some of them are petitpoint, others crewel flowers.

I put this in the simple category–because it’s just an A monogram–no extra embroidery. It was a quality hanky with a wide drawnwork hem. These tend to be Victorian. This one is AWESOME!

Not as fine a quality as the previous hanky, but still a nicely done hanky on a beautiful linen lawn hanky with a ribbon border woven in the fabric.

This M is a shadowwork M, with embroidery on top. It’s one of my favorite in this category (ok, so I have lots of favorites)

Not sure what category to put this in, it is a simple E, but has petitpoint flowers around it.

A Frnch style script monogram, with petitpoint flowers around it.

Testing: Can you tell that this is a machine-made hanky? I should have photographed the back for you–that’s where you can really tell. A hand-embroidered hanky will not have a second thread which comes from a bobbin–and it’s usually white, by the way. Notice how the stitching isn’t exact on the flowers. Looks a little sloppy even though the overall effect is pleasing.

Silk Embroidered Hankies

It seems like years ago these were super expensive. Now you can find them on eBay for really reasonable prices. I tend to sell them as wedding hankies. They are nice because they tend to be a cream color rather than a stark white, matching cream wedding dresses. I assume silk hankies are from Asia, either Japan or China.

I can’t believe I sold this hanky. It’s the same design on both sides. That is quite a feat if you’re embroidering hankies.

A monogram hanky. I don’t think this is a very high quality hanky, looks machine stitched,
except the edge has sloppy hand-stitching.

Silk hanky, more typical design that you find vs. the first one shown. Slightly higher quality than the last one, even has some drawnwork on it.

Silk monogrammed hanky. It is a higher quality than the 2 previous.
You find this type of hanky more often on eBay.
It’s a nice monogram, ranges in price depending on the dealer.

Men’s Monogrammed Hankies

I don’t really find that many men’s hankies. I suspect that is because they were used and worn out! I get alot of requests for hankies for men’s tux pockets in weddings. Really tough to find appropriate ones though.

A very casual hanky with the color, but a nice large hanky with a triple monogram

Men’s monograms tend to be plainer, more masculine.

A monogram in a square is pretty common in a man’s hanky.

Almost the same as the previous hanky, but look closely, it is different.

Another monogram in a square “D”

A monogram in a square.
Men’s hankies are great even for women–if you like to carry a hanky for use in your purse!Personalized Name Hankies

Don’t give up, you can find personalized hankies if you are looking for them. Here is a selection…some are fun, definitely Grandma’s old-fashioned names.

A wonderful punchwork hanky someone has personalized.

“Amanda”. This was probably done by an individual. It is well done, but it’s not the heavy French script .

“Anne” is a really fine monogram. It’s got the heavy padded satin stitch and multiple
colors of embroidery. The flowers are forget-me-nots, which are very common on Madeira hankies.
They are always well done. The branches are pretty skimpy though.

“Elsie” This is not a Madeira hanky. I don’t really know where it is made. I have had hankies like this made in Switzerland, Hong Kong, Ireland and China.

This was a wonderful Victorian hanky. It is huge–I tend to see what you would call Victorian whitework on
larger hankies, I think they’re from England or Ireland.

“Eleanor” – fabulous quality, superfine linen. Madeira.

“Gertrude” had a wonderful hanky!

“Gladys” – Simple, with a flair at the bottom

Sort of unusual to see the last initial “Joan M.”

“Katherine”. This went to someone with a new baby “Katherine”. It falls into my “Fabulous” category.

“Lillian” Notice the extra L’s worked into the design. Wonderful. It has some grey pencil. Japan? The linen is great, and the L is a fine French script. I wouldn’t pass this up because of the grey pencil.

Can you tell the superfine quality of this linen? It isn’t as heavy of a monogram as the “Katherine” hanky, but it’s a fabulous hanky for “Margaret”.

“Mary” has a wonderful hanky. A hint of grey from the pattern.

Monogrammed Hankies with Lace or Cutwork

These hankies tend to be from Brussels if they have lace. Cutwork is a Madeira trait often used. Some others are from Ireland or England.

A small monogram with an extremely fine drawnwork lace edge.

Looks like this is a Madeira Hanky. V’s are hard to find even though I’ve shown quite a few.

This isn’t cutwork, this is eyelit work, wanted to show you the difference.

This has cutwork scrolls

More cutwork scrolls, wonderful script B, with applique rosebuds.

Monogram F, a smaller monogram, with cutwork leaves in the forget-me-not flower embroidery.
I don’t think this is a Madeira hanky. Looks more like an Irish or Belgium hanky.

I usually think Swiss when I see this type of openwork on the basket.
You really don’t see it much on Madeira hankies.

Very well done embroidery and cutwork. It’s a small monogram.

Original Brussels hanky in box. Notice the openwork / lace bottom. Look closely
at the embroidery. Can you tell the difference between this one and the ones from Madeira?

This has the Burmel tag showing it is made in Madeira.

Another hanky like the Burmel hanky above, Madeira.

The only “O” hanky I’ve ever seen! Olivia?

Cutwork on the border. Madeira.

Lace border hanky. Shadowwork. Madiera? HMM. Ma
kes me wonder if someone added the lace? Very professionally done if they did.

Madiera hanky with cutwork on the bow.

Very unusual hanky! Love it. I’ve never seen a design similar to this.

Cutwork Letter

OK, So we’ve viewed alot of hankies here. I want to finish up sharing a few that didn’t seem to fall in the other categories.

All the Rest!

I didn’t put these in any of the previous categories, but want to give you lots to look at. Enjoy. Don’t forget to click on a hanky to view the larger photo.

This hanky looks like it is on cotton. The fabric is thicker. Can you tell by the photo? It’s important because alot of eBay sellers can’t tell the difference. In fact, sometimes I can’t. A linen lawn fabric is very thin and delicate.
I really liked the colors in this one, the French style monogram gets me every time.

Great quality Madeira Hanky. Very clean crisp design.

Desco tag says Linen Madeira. Great cutwork.

You have to love those script monograms. They’re the same as the fancy French sheets, only a fraction of the price!

A wonderful Victorian Hanky. This is probably an Appenzell hanky (Swiss). It is stunning!

Don’t you love the way the “H” is part of the bow? I don’t think this is Madeira, could be Irish.

Has a double monogram, two colors, plus some shadowwork.

A Kimball label shows Madeira. This is a very simple design with the bow and sprig. A very elaborate script K

Very simple classic “C”

These wonderful nodding flowers got to me. The label says ???? wish I could read it. It has that grey pencil
underneath, but the flowers are so cute, who could resist?

Unusual Red Embroidery. I save these for xmas.

Great M! surrounded by embroidery

Sort of modest embroidery, love the circular design.

Pink and Grey again, wonder who did this?

This is a Madeira hanky with a label showing Poly content. Remember what I said about poly. It’s softer on your nose. However,
it can ball up as it ages. The quality of the embroidery is high.

Wow! I totally love this hanky design and color! Can you imagine the hours it took to make this?

A simple design. Do I see some grey under those dots?

Gee, I wish I could read the writing. The style indicates Madeira. A great hanky.
Love the N with shadowwork and heavy embroidered satin stitch.

An interesting stylized C with intricate flowers in 3 colors.

Test: This hanky says Made in Hong Kong. When you look at it you realize it is machine made.

Another hard to find letter “I”. The design is a bit unusual. Definitely Madeira.

Appenzell Hanky. Design all around. Wonderful.

This hanky embodies everything I love about a Madeira hanky. The linen is wonderful, has sort of a translucent sheen to the fabric. The monogram is super crisp, as is the embroidery.

Another M Madeira. Great pink hanky!

Some greyness underneath, drawnwork. I really love the design.

This design has the W at the top, with more design below. Beautiful!

Another fantastic N. I’m a sucker for a design with a bow.

I am not done. There is more to write: floral embroidered hankies, hankie holders, boxes, etc.

Your guide to learn all about antique monogrammed hankies. This is the first post of a series of four on antique hankies and linens.

These posts were on an original blog made with my mom that is closing. I’ve moved the posts over here and knew my readers at Petite Haus would enjoy them. Now, on to the post…

I’ve spent alot of time drifting on my blog–you get whatever is happening in my life. However the purpose was to share my knowledge–or what I like about antiques. First and foremost is my love of antique textiles.

Not many people understand my fascination with hankies–except other hanky lovers. To me they are fine works of art on a 10″ x 10″ square of the finest linen. To purchase a hanky with the same level of detailed hand-embroidery would cost you several hundred dollars today.

While hankies were made all over the world, my favorite workmanship are hankies made in Belgium, Switzerland and Madeira.

You don’t have to be a hanky collector to appreciate a nice hanky. The non-collector purchases a hanky most often for a gift–a bride being the number one recipient. Brides often buy from me, and use the hankies as gifts or part of a gift basket for bridesmaids, in addition to using the hanky for “something old” and “something blue” if it has blue embroidery on it.

If you see a fabulous hanky damaged, make a sachet out of it. Don’t let the fine embroidery go to waste.

I’ve attempted to categorize hankies in a way that you’ll understand and encourage you to spot a fine hanky.

Applique & Shadow-work Hankies

Madeira hankies must have invented the use of applique and shadow-work. Applique is when they take a piece of fabric and stitch it on top of the hanky–hence “applique”. Shadowwork is when they put the fabric underneath, or stitch underneath, to create a “shadow” on top. I don’t think I’ve seen a Swiss hanky that has this.

The blue flowers are the applique-work on this hanky.
Note that the L is made up of embroidery and shadowwork, making a large monogram.

White version of the L hanky

Like the L hanky, the W below was made by the same manufacturer.

same hanky in pink

Below are some variations, possibly by the same manufacturer.

A variation of the L hanky

A pink variation of the B hanky above

Note the flowers are the same for the last 3 hankies compared to the earlier ones.

The embroidery on the hankies with the applique letter can become more elaborate.

Rather than applique, this hanky has the letter done in shadowwork and embroidery

Similar to the D above, only in white shadowwork

Don’t forget to click on a photo if you want to see the enlargement.
This is another variation of a spring bouquet around the monogram.

The hanky below is a real favorite of mine. It has pale grey embroidery and a separate organdy flower with loose petals not attached to the hanky. This design with the flower is a whole collecting category by itself–which I will share with you later.

Note the attached organdy flower on the corner.

Hankies can also have the letter be an applique, instead of embroidery

M hanky with a nice drawnwork hem, in a medallion of delicate stitching. It has a 40’s look to me.

Doesn’t this hanky remind you of the 50’s monogrammed sweater (the “L” on LaVerne’s sweater?0

While this is simple, notice that the appliqued fabric is enhanced with embroidery

Below are some appliqued monograms that are more elaborate. The K in this hanky has leaves that edge the hanky.

The hanky below has the label “Madeira” and has some wonderful bellfowers accenting the somewhat modern-looking angular H.

The hanky below is an M done in a french script style. I love the detailed embroider surrounding the M.

Click on photo for enlargement. Notice the applique flower has some openwork, buratto I believe.

Lastly, I’d like to share my favorite applique monogram, complete with embroidery and a lace edge.

Beautiful!

This next section of applique work shows applique flowers in combination with shadowwork and french style script monograms.

The bows are shadowwork, the R is french script in heavy padded satin stitch, with an applique flower in the corner.

Another example with applique flower in the corner.

Applique flowers in the corner

The next group shows hankies with applique flowers surrounding the monogram–making more of a “medallion”.

The applique flowers are a creamy satin – interesting texture.

One of those unusual hankies with the all-white applique.

I hardly ever see red in a monogram. I love the contrasting grey stitching. The flowers are applique.

Applique flowers make a medallion.

Unusual V Hanky–V’s are hard to find. White creamy applique flowers.

Simple medallion with one applique flower, shadowwork and embroidery. I like the pink G monogram

The lavender monogram looks great, I think all these flowers are shadow-work.

Most of the shadow-work tends to be colored, although not always. They are Madeira hankies, I don’t think I’ve seen any good Made in China knock-offs. Below are two examples of P Monograms.

Below are more examples of shadow-work. Don’t forget to click and view a photo if you want to see an enlargement.

Simple shadow-work making up a medallion.

I totally love the brown embroidery. I can’t seem to keep any of the blue, brown or grey in stock, everyone loves them for weddings.

I t

This hanky is unusual with the flowers on one side of the B monogram. I love the applique and shadow-work flowers

The shadow-work bows are really sweet. Great for a wedding hanky.

Another example with grey shadow-work, some cutwork and pale aqua contrasts beautifully.

I love the brown on this hanky!

Applique medallion with shadow-work leaves. Great aqua blue embroidery

Isn’t it interesting that they managed to have such a classy combination of grey complementing the pink!

Great wedding color, don’t you think?

I love the shadow-work medallion on this monogram, plus a shadow-work edge on the hanky. Beautiful!

Organdy Flowers

The hankies below are really special. They have organdy flowers/ butterflies attached to create a 3-D effect. The organdy is light and delicate.

Butterflies look like they landed on the hanky for the photo shoot!

Note the petals of the organdy flower are not attached. Hanky has Madeira label.

Fabulous hanky with loose organdy leaves surrounding this R monogram.

Monogrammed Hankies – in a Circle Medallion

The hankies below are all hand embroidered with a french script style monogram, padded satin stitch. There are various designs, all circular.

Shadow-work medallion of circles

Simple delicate blue embroidery makes an elegant statement

A bit of shadow-work, and wonderful Madeira flowers.

A small medallion of flowers and scrolls enhance this B

The C monogram is on an organdy insert, enhanced with the grey scroll embroidery.

A double row of padded satin stitch makes a great enhanced script monogram. love the daisies, french knots and scrolls.

This is too cool! I love the cicular design around the H!

Unusual D hanky with eyelit embroidery making a cicular medallion with pink embroidery

Another great pink/grey combination. The french script R stands out in this circular medallion of scrolls.

A great hanky with cutwork border, lots of padded satin stitch and Madeira forget-me-nots.

Unusual find, a triple monogram hanky in a medallion of flowers and scrolls.

The next 4 hankies are still a circular medallion, but the monogram is not the heavy padded satin stitch–the monogram is done with embroidery making the letter wider.

This A monogram has a border with cutwork.

This monogram is a combination of padded satin stitch and embroidered fields filled with tiny french knots.

This F monogram is great–I love the double circle of embroidery. Notice the detailed embroidery on the bell flowers.

The bright blue monogram combined with the white embroidery really makes the monogram jump off the hanky.

The two hankies below I’ve owned years apart. They are the same, made to look like a rose petal, with the outer leaves out of organdy. Beautiful!

Great W monogram

M Monogram with organdy leaves inserted and cut out to make them sheer.

Organdy medallion, cutwork on the border, shadow-work bows and flowers.

Square and Oval Medallions

Square R Medallion, original label.

Probably my favorite “square” medallion.

The next 11 hankies are monograms surrounded by a heavy square of embroidery. I have noticed there is a distinct style of hanky that is filled with scrolls and flowers. It is likely the same manufacturer.

Looks very much like Victorian Whitework embroidery

Talk about scarce, an “I” monogram.

This is one with the scrolled embroidery I was talking about.

Has some shadow-work leaves

Distinctive Madeira forget-me-not flowers surrouning this F monogram

Another heavy whitework Victorian hanky

Scrolls and flowers make up the medallion

Unusual green F monogram

I can’t resist the field of flowers on this hanky!

Hankies with Double-Wide Monogrammed Letters

Some of these hankies don’t have huge monograms, but the embroidery on the lettering is extra detailed. Some of them are two-color, for a shadow effect, and others are letters filled with embroidery.

Hanky reeks with quality embroidery. OK, reeks is not a good word, but you get the drift.

Wonderful French style script monogram.

The embroidery is delicate on this hanky, but has a wonderful effect with the bouqet.

OK, I threw this in as a test. This hanky is NOT hand-embroidered. It is NOT antique, err, at least by my standards. It’s still not bad for a machine made hanky. Check it out, you need to know how to tell the difference!

Can you see the quality difference in this hanky vs. the last one? This one is a fabulous hand-embroidered hanky.

Another unusual hand-embroidered hanky. It is not Madeira, but still wonderful!

Your red Christmas “I” Hanky. Wonderful!

The double lines of the R add to the graceful look of the monogram. The ribbon intertwined with flowers is unusual.

There are 3 colors of embroidery. Doesn’t it add to the beauty of this hanky!

Simple forget-me-nots enhance this monogram.

The colored embroidery is extremely high quality–look at it closely!

All white embroidery, tiny french knots inside the monogram.

Great looking whitework!

Go back and check out a B hanky earlier in the post. Very similar to this one.

This was as 13″ hanky, huge, wonderful embroidery! Open cutwork in the monogram.

I think that the previous W hanky was made by the same manufacturer. The grey pencil lines underneath the embroidery suggest that it may have been made in China. At least that’s what I think when I see them.

Great blue ribbon border with those Madeira forget-me-not flowers . The H is a french script double-wide on the right.

I love the detail on this hanky. Great design.

The green embroidery is a very unusual find!

Check out the quality on this hanky–isn’t it wonderful! I don’t think I’ve come across a pink lawn hanky.

OK, another test. this is a machine made hanky. The colors were fun so it got purchased.

This is an English Victorian Whitework Hanky.

Looks like a design from the 50’s or 60’s. Still great. The embroidery is an extremely fine quality.

This blog is so big, I’ll continue this later with Hanky Primer #2. So what is your favorite hanky that I’ve shown today?

Antique Teapot Flower Arrangements at a Wedding

We use affiliate links in our posts and our site. This means if you make a purchase using these links, we may earn a small commission. You don’t pay a cent more than you would otherwise! Our full disclosure is available under About.

This project has been a long time in the making. My niece came up with the idea of using antique teapots for her flower arrangements at her wedding reception. This of course had to involve me because who else would she go to but her obsessive antique-collecting aunt? We didn’t use antiques entirely (although we probably could have), because she was panicked at the value of some of the teapots. So we had alot of fun last spring keeping an eye out on eBay for things that would go with her wedding colors. That was after hitting up my collection for teapots that went with pink. The head table used silver pots, creamers and individual pots, along with some demitasse. She also wanted to use some antique linen underneath the teapots, but given the white tablecloths, we decided to use antique print hankies that matched the teapots.

I was so busy with the project, that I didn’t take alot of photos, but thought I would share with you what I did take along the way.

I had done some trial arrangements and found that loose flower arrangements wouldn’t hold their shape or transport (130 miles) well, so I had to use frogs or oasis. We used hot glue to secure the oasis into the pots, although it was difficult on some because of their size or shape. In those cases I tried to wedge the oasis in by cutting a piece larger than the opening, cramming it in, and cutting a v-groove so I could be able to put water in the pot.

Teapots filled with Oasis a week before the wedding.

I picked up the roses 2 days before the wedding in order to let them open up beforehand. There’s nothing worse than flower arrangements that just have tight buds. This worked well for all the roses except one bunch, which were blown by the wedding morning.

The colors on this rose was absolutely perfect. Unfortunately They didn’t hold up. I kept them in the refrigerator til the wedding. I was hoping….

My niece wanted old-fashioned flowers and requested that I used baby carnations. I do love the spicy fragrance they have. Other flowers were used included: stocks, sweet peas, sweetheart roses, spray roses, David Austin roses, snapdragon, echinops, and lavender.

Oh my! So many flowers, so little time!

Overall, everything held up well. A few problems were —
– The dark fuchsia stocks did not hold up well and were wilting hours after I brought them home. I was 40 miles from my supplier and couldn’t run and replace them. I cut the bunches off very short in order to let them perk up while using.
– I should have picked up the carnations 2 days before too, they were a bit to tight for me.
– The sweet pea stems were pretty fragile. I would put them in first just so I could carefully maneuver them into the arrangements. I had purchased them in selected bunches of color. I would not recommend using them unless you literally grow them yourselves. Half were blown by today, they were the only thing that drooped in some of the arrangements.
– The lavender wasn’t the standard augustafolia variety. I don’t know what kind they were, but I literally didn’t have time to run out to my garden and harvest some for use. As it was, all the David Austins came from my yard. Make that yards. I flew to California on Thursday and had carried flowers from the Washington house on the plane.

Oddly, the Cecil Brunner roses turned white in the fridge, but The Fairy, and the Geoff Hamilton roses held up well. I needed miniature roses for the cake.

A cell phone progress picture…. Are those photo-bombers in the background?

These were many varieties of roses in a teacup my niece would love.
I made this thinking I might wind up needing “extras” somewhere.

This was a 250 year old bat-printed teapot. The tape on the handle corresponds to a number on a hanky that gets placed under the teapot.

You can see my reflection in this chased silver teapot that is designated for the head table.

The head table is 4 feet longer than I had originally planned. I didn’t have enough silver teapots, so I used these Royal Worcester demitasse in between each silver item. The roses for my garden were used here.

I used plastic stacking bins to transport the 31 arrangements in a minivan. That was great because I didn’t have to worry about water spilling. I used bubble wrap between the teapots, most bins had 2 or 3 teapots based on the size of the teapots. London shape teapots could fit 3 to a bin.

A set table, teapot, vintage hanky, and all the “stuff”.

I don’t like the table numbers poked in the arrangements. If I’d had time, I would have taken them out and just tented them next to the teapots.

Where the bride & groom sat. I wanted low arrangements in front of them to not block their view.

The entire long table. The flowers really added color and made it festive. We added some swags to the front of the table from pew decorations. I didn’t like the stage. The brown curtains were ugly, other than that the room was nice. The bridal party was completely unapproachable. I would have put them on a round table down on the floor, but maybe they didn’t want to be disturbed.

A bullion cup was used at the top of the cake. It was really cute!

I had brought about 80 roses for rose petal use. I did not do this table. When I turned around, the cake table was done, the bag of roses disappeared, and there was just a few skimpy petals on the table. Note to self: If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This looks like an accident on the table.

The setup time was weird. We had one hour before the wedding to do everything, from the tablecloths to finish. It was supposed to be an hour and a half. I was supposed to put certain antiques on certain tables, but there were only tea names on the tables, and I was supposed to put number on the table. The diagram I was given didn’t have any numbers on it. I am not a fan of weird table names. Really, you are making it hard on your setup team doing something like this. A few minutes before the wedding my sister came in with a box of stuff for setup. I wound up missing the wedding. I was working so hard I didn’t even know where the church was in the complex. I’m not happy that I missed her walking down the aisle. Not only did I miss it once, I missed it twice. The bride’s sister is ill and was admitted to the hospital wednesday before the wedding. Apparently the legal wedding took place at the hospital and because I was doing the flowers, I missed it. Other family members were there but I didn’t know that was the official ceremony. Everyone says that was the emotional wedding. I think I’m more upset that I wasn’t considered important enough to go to the “official” wedding. Or maybe am I upset that it didn’t bother anyone that I wasn’t there? I’m feeling like the hired help. Missing her wedding(s) has left me very upset. I hope she appreciated my efforts, I really tried to make it beautiful. Just remember, if you take on a project like this, you will work day and night before the wedding. The florist is worth every penny!

I think this is my favorite teapot. It is circa 1820’s

This is what it looked like with a print hanky under it.

These are some of the other hankies used. They went with specific teapots based on color. Antique bags that got used are in the background.

This cute little thing lost a few flowers in transport,
and the oasis moved around. Isn’t it darling!

I am exhausted, I now have a sore throat and earache. I have some flower arrangements to clean up. After I throw out all the flowers, I’ll harvest my lavender for the season, close up the house, and go where it isn’t 108 degrees. It’s probably raining in Washington… I’ll chill out and realize that families are families. We stick together through everything, including when slighted relatives are not included to attend a niece’s official wedding ceremony.

My daughter’s wedding is next May. Here’s a peek at what I am working on:

A card from the 1700’s!

Her wedding will not start until I’m seated and that’s final. No, I’m not doing the flowers. We asked her to elope yesterday. She said no.
