Crowns have been embroidered for centuries. The crown traditionally represent power, legitimacy, victory, triumph, honor, and glory, as well as immortality, righteousness, and resurrection. I find endless inspiration in flea markets, books and online.

Above is a picture of a crown I am hand embroidering for a sample.

And below some pictures of heirloom linens with embroidered crowns.
