It bears a pattern of fronds and harebells, which was embroidered by his wife Florence Kate Baillie Scott. The collar is decorated with silver beads and edged with a narrow cord of black and white silk. It is similar in style and technique to another one in the V&A's collection designed and made by Jessie Newbery of the Glasgow School.\r\n\r\nBaillie Scott was one of the most highly regarded and original architects of the years around 1900. He was also a designer of furniture and textiles. He was very influential abroad. His work at Darmstadt in Germany for the Duke of Hesse is one of the major architectural and design projects of the period. He used embroidery, particularly appliqué, to decorate the textiles in his interiors.","physicalDescription":"Collar of shantung silk embroidered in silks and silver beads in a design of fronds and hare-bells in green, blue and mauve.
