HEINRICH KUEHN SPANIEL - $13 USD

This pattern of a Spaniel by Heinrich Kuehn of Berlin appears to be from the late 1860's even though it is not numbered as the hand painting of the graph paper was very sloppy and colors over ran each other.  This was a sharp decline from earlier patterns by him.  This was a result of the demand for more patterns at a faster pace and accuracy was somehow sacrificed.  The design is 151 stitches wide by 111 stitches tall and is made up of 28 DMC color.

FAVORITE PETS - $30. USD

This pattern of two of the period's favorite pets, is an un-numbered one by C. Franke & Siecke of Berlin.  These patternmakers had a short reign compared to many others of the time, lasting from 1840-1858.  Absent of the pattern number, but based on the design, I would put this in the early part of the 1850s as the colors are bright and cheerful, in stark contrast from those after Prince Albert's death in the 1860's.  The design is quite large at 303 stitches wide by 376 stitches tall, and can be altered to show just the main characters of the piece without destroying the entire piece.  Overall as shown, there are 97 DMC colors used in the creation that match the original.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Heinrich Kuehn pattern is dated 1879 and had a grey blue background as the suggested color choice.  I tried to match the color as close as possible as the original color is not available.  The composition is made up of summer flowers found on the forest floor with sprigs of ferns entwined.  The scrollwork was popular in the 1870s so it is a crossover pattern to the new craftsman era.  The design is 130 stitches wide by 130 stitches tall and uses 32 DMC colors

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HK 9555 - $11 USD

This pattern is a stylistic and very modern for its time.  Another pattern by Heinrich Kuehn which shows that his business was on the edge of design.  Square in design it is asymmetrical in the flower placement.  The pattern is 135 stitches wide by 135 stitches tall and is made up of 34 DMC colors.
