Embroiderers Guild, VictoriaAccessory - Handbag, Indian Goldwork Handbag, Early 20th century
... Indian Goldwork Handbag...Origin: The craft originated in the Indian subcontinent, specifically developing in Lucknow, India. ...Dehli, Indian...Origin: The craft originated in the Indian subcontinent, specifically developing in Lucknow, India. ...Known as Karchob it is divided into 2 types of gold embroidery: 1. Key Aspects of Zardozi Embroidery: Origin and Meaning: The term "Zardozi" comes from the Persian words "zar" (gold) and "dozi" (embroidery), literally meaning "sewing with gold". Materials Used: Traditionally, threads were made of pure gold or silver, but modern zardozi typically uses copper wires with a gold or silver polish, often blended with silk threads, sequins, and crystals. The Process: Adda: The fabric is stretched tightly over a wooden frame, known as an adda, to facilitate precise, delicate work. Aari Needle: Artisans often use a hook-ended needle, similar to a crochet needle, called an aari, to make intricate stitches. Techniques: Specialized techniques include Dabka (coiled wire) and Kasab (twisted wire) to create raised, three-dimensional motifs. Common Motifs: Designs often feature intricate floral patterns, leaves, paisley, and geometric shapes inspired by nature and architecture. 2. Key details about Kamdani embroidery: Technique: It is often called a "lighter version" of Zardozi. It involves using a needle to insert flat metallic wires (badla) through the fabric, making tiny stitches that sparkle, often creating dots, paisleys, or floral patterns. Origin: The craft originated in the Indian subcontinent, specifically developing in Lucknow, India. Materials: Originally done with pure gold or silver threads, modern Kamdani often uses synthetic metallic threads or beads for affordability. Application: It is commonly featured on luxurious textiles, including georgette, chiffon, and cotton, frequently worn as formal wedding wear (sarees, dupattas, and kurtas). Types of Work: It is often referred to by related terms such as Mukaish, Badla, or Fardi work.Gold embroidery all over bag except under flap. Intricate design on flowers in very typical of the variety of metal threads. Velvet handles with black silk lining with press-studs in both corners of the flap. Decorative beaded tassel at base.

These bands won many South Street awards, and Frank as conductor won many awards in the Australian Band Championship contest.

... Indian Club...This Indian club comes from an early 20th century Warrnambool Men’s Physical Culture group but it is not certain which one it was. ...A name is written on the base in black ink Indian Club Wooden Club ...This Indian club comes from an early 20th century Warrnambool Men’s Physical Culture group but it is not certain which one it was. Gymnastics and Physical Culture groups were very popular in Warrnambool at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. They were usually attached to sporting or church groups and had both male and female participants. One important Physical Culture group in Warrnambool was a Sandow group, dedicated to promoting the Sandow philosophies and system of physical exercise. Eugen Sandow was a German who gained fame as a strong man, touring the world demonstrating his feats of strength and promoting his philosophy of health and good living. He toured Australia in 1902 and the result was the formation of many Physical Culture groups promoting the Sandow system. The Warrnambool group was said to be the first Sandow club established in Australia. No information has been found on the name ‘Dicks’ on the base of the club. This Indian club is of interest as a memento of the times in Warrnambool when many gymnastics and physical culture groups were operating. It may be a memento from the Warrnambol Sandow Physical Culture Group. This is a bottle-shaped wooden club with a wooden knob at the top end and three ridges incised into the main section of the club. The wood has been varnished but the surface is now a little rubbed and worn. A name is written on the base in black ink‘……Dicks’ warrnambool physical culture groups, eugen sandow -
