The International Exhibition: muslin embroidered coverlet, designed and manufactured by Messrs. Brown, Sharps, and Tyars, of Watling-street, and of Paisley, 1862. The design consists of a rich border, with a wreath, in which the rose, shamrock, and thistle are arranged, in the corners and sides are the Prince of Waless feathers, and in the centre the Royal arms, encircled by a similar wreath. The centrepiece was embroidered by the house-workers of Messrs. Brown, Sharps, and Tyars, at Paisley; and the wreath and border were done at their establishment at Donaghadee, Ireland, by some of the best sewers of that place. The satin-work and point darme are beautifully executed. The open parts of the border and flowers are filled with a great variety of stitches in real point, executed in Ayr, which has been long celebrated for having the best hands for this fine and costly description of work. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
