The three piece duchess set is stamped by MyArt company,No. CX 1449 . The design is a circular floral pattern on linen with a scalloped edge. One piece has been worked in blue stranded cotton.
In Perth in the first half of the 20th century, evenweave linen fabrics were very rare, design and pattern books few and far between. Thus stamped linens/cottons were one of the few household articles available for the lady of the house to stitch.
Patterns for household linen, mass produced by Semco, MyArt, and Deighton were often published in women's magazines such as Australiann Home Journal, The Weekly Times and the Australian Woman's Weekly and offered as a mail service to women in country areas.
