The Memling Collection consists of three different needlepoint designs. We named them Memling ( seen here ) - Memling Gul and Memling Motif - seen later as you view this section of our Website - by selecting the photographs or links above top photos. The three Needlepoint Designs are available in three color combinations - Green - Blue and the Original Colors.

To purchase - select the *ADD TO CART* buttons - which will take you to secure payment pages.

Memling is a very versatile needlepoint pattern which may be used to cover a piano or bedroom bench - headboard or table cover. It may be used as a single rug or combine two or more canvases for larger rugs - of the dimensions desired.

Shown above are two canvases joined at one side border to form a Needlepoint Rug Hallway Runner.

Inspired by a tapestry painted by Hans Memling  titled Vase of Flowers c. 1485 this design has evolved during five years and is now available in the original colors of the painting as seen in the Museum Thyssen-Bornmizsa in Madrid, Spain.

Together with the Museum the two other designs were developed: Memling Motif  ( 12 mesh ) 4,8. x 5.4 in. - Memling Gul ( 10 mesh ) 13.2 x 14.5 in.- and of course Memling - the interpretation of the entire tapestry. The three Memling Designs may also be acquired in the original colors through the Museum Thyssen-Bornemisza*s shop.

The stepped-hook polygon motif became known as the *Memling Gul* in literature as Memling often included depiction's of this carpet type in his paintings. The step-form cross composition ( without the hooked arms extending from the polygon ) is amongst the oldest of the traditional designs to originate within the sphere of Armenian cultural influence since the empires of Urartu and Phrygians. This traditional design was continued in the mosaics of the Hellenistic - Roman and early Christian periods.
