Textiles help to identify
 

Lord ! Perhaps some of you will help to confirm or deny my assumptions regarding these " pads ". To call these works " art proficiency " <! - ~ 1 ~ -> probably too bold . It seems to me like kitsch in a decent house could be something utilitarian - most likely to Shpalerka fireplace screens. How these " products" can be valuable ?
In the photo: 1 and 2, the general form of 3 - "jewels " are marked with very fine gold beads , 4 - wrong side .

Thanks for the quick and emotional reaction.

But still, maybe you know what kind of mats?
When and for what created this "luxury"?
How common?
Nowhere did this not occur.

Enough of this - a hobby

I can now say stupid ... But I think that it's a stitch. There is a technique - " carpet ". Simulates the carpet . Performed manually, using simple device - a special needle with a handle. Used as the basis of the ordinary weave linen cloth , and as the main material - wool (or - any other , but not necessarily - thick , voluminous ) threads.

Yeah?
And I see Austria-Hungary for her many Slavic Kronlandov for any Dalmatia or Bohemia, Carinthia, or Lodomeria, in general.

Yes, perhaps with a chair , disappeared in the stove . How much is normal for this pre-Revolutionary furniture such magnitude ? Because the size of " rugs " 57 by 55 cm?
And whether upholstery fabrics adorned with beads so ? ( Photographs by bead earring and a toothpick to scale. edges of rugs covered with some glue (?) with traces of paper ( ?)
What about my guesses about the fireplace Shpalerka ? Just a bad idea? <! - ~ 12 ~ ->
