    Must be just me as I just yesterday finished reading Marie Antoinette.

    btw, I have a Threads magazine article that deals with making several styles of rosettes. If anyone is interested maybe I can scan and post?
    Remember though that a number of exiled Jacobites served in the French army in the 18th Century.

    Very true, but the topic of this thread is not about exiled Jacobites, but French gentlemen.

    I guess it would all depend upon the time period that the French gentleman would have worn his rosette.

    You miss my meaning; Scottish Jacobites saw the French as allies in their struggle to reclaim the throne, and a number of Scots served in the armies of the French king, whose soldiers also wore a white cockade.

    White cockades were worn by royalist supporters in France through the Revolution.

    So yes, it is appropriate.

    Great job, Robert and you wear it with such panache. Looks cold there however.

    Robert, as usual your post here is informative, entertaining and beautifully photographed.

    I wonder where one would acquire a scissors-and-needles holder like yours? I've never seen one with a stand of 'pipes, a field drum, and a kilt, sporran, and jacket, until now. If you have another that's not being used, please put it in the mail to me at your earliest convenience.

    This fine hand cast pewter sewing station http://www.pewtergiftware.com/catalo...aspx?cid=14183 was offered as a gift to Lady Chrystel by our dear friend Mael Coluim.
