The inscription which faces the posie is from Longfellow’s ‘THE CASTLE OF VAUTSBERG ON THE RHINE’

In health, in sickness, in decay,
Here and hereafter, I am thine!
A lattice work of beaded flowers by the embroiderers employed by Norman Hartnell in the 1950s. He was one of the few high end dressmakers to have his own #embellishment workshop in house, rather than outsource to independent couture embroiderers. Just lovely. Fashion Museum of Bath.
