A French-language article from the periodical Art et Décoration (pp. 13-20) reviewing embroidery and lace shown at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. Soulier discusses the move toward larger-scale decorative embroidery and fabric appliqué for friezes, panels, portières and upholstery, citing work by Henry, Edme Couty, Plumet and Selmersheim, the Vienna School of Decorative Arts, the Swedish Société des Métiers d'Art, and Japanese embroidery. He ends with remarks on Viennese and French lace and on the blurring of embroidery and lace. It is illustrated with photographs of fans, a handkerchief, a collar, cushions, a portière, a banquette and Japanese panels.
