EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Myddelton Biddulph Armorial Medallion, created by the renowned Victorian architect and designer AWN Pugin in around 1846, is a captivating example of the Gothic Revival's influence on the arts and crafts movement in Europe during the 19th century. The intricately designed medallion, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a rich tapestry of heraldic symbols and motifs, embroidered with silk and silk-wrapped cotton in paper-padded satin stitches. Pugin, a British architect and designer, was a leading figure in the Gothic Revival movement, which sought to revive the artistic styles and techniques of the Middle Ages. This medallion, with its elaborate appliqué work, braiding, and couching, is a testament to Pugin's mastery of the craft. The design features the armorial crest of the Myddelton Biddulph family, with the letter 'B' prominently displayed in the center. The medallion's background is made up of a linen plain weave, while the appliqué work is done in silk plain weave with supplementary pile warps forming cut solid velvet. The colors used are rich and vibrant, adding to the overall visual impact of the piece. The medallion's intricate design and attention to detail reflect the high level of skill and craftsmanship that went into its creation. This beautiful artifact is not only a significant piece of European heritage art but also a reminder of the enduring influence of the Gothic Revival on the arts and crafts movement. The Myddelton Biddulph Armorial Medallion continues to inspire artists and designers to this day, showcasing the timeless beauty and intricacy of traditional needlework techniques.
