Plaid to embroider Chenonceau

Plaid to embroider in cross stitch, evoking the Chenonceau Château, derived from the large pattern chart in our Museums and Heritage Collection.
It continues the tradition of plaids to embroider created by Sajou since it began.
The famous silhouette dominates the centre of the plaid and is surrounded by different motifs from the chateau: coats of arms and symbols of the Kings of France and the Medecis, wall coverings from the different rooms, Renaissance-style friezes and allusions to the gardens.
You will find their signification in the explanatory sheets.
