I know that we have discussed this in the past but cannot remember a referrance or definition. In 18th C. embroidery, what is the difference between spangles and sequins used for additional embellishment. I have been reading the Mackenzie text for the Wade collection at Snowshill and she shows embroidery samples that use both in the same illustration.

I am preparing a major part of my Collection for auction and have several pieces of elaborate embellishment that I am trying to describe. Also, Re the composition of sequins, besides gel, what might they have been formed from before 1930?

Can someone put me in the right direction

Kathleen
