Toovey's Casket

There was an auction in June of a single collection and her (?) embroidery collection at Toovey's in Sussex.  There were many English embroideries of the 17th century there and you might want to scan a few of them, which I will post.

The first is a casket with an unusual edging treatment.  Perhaps something added or done later, as pictures of the inside weren't available and that usually tells the whole story.  But the embroidery on it was beautiful!
