STUMPWORK
by Liz Turner Diehl

 
 

Stumpwork is a term used to define raised or embossed needlework. This form of embroidery was common in England in the 17th century. The majority of dated work is found between 1650 and 1700, even though work does exist before and after these dates.

Stumpwork is a modern term. Its first known use being in 1894. History books speculate on its origin. Phrases such as "work on the stamp" and "work on the stump" are possibilities. The French work "estompe", meaning embossed, is thought to have a correlation today.
