The verifiable output of this entity consists exclusively of textile works. Fifteen such pieces are represented in institutional holdings, including the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago. The preservation of these historical items, many requiring specialized conservation, underscores their importance as museum-quality examples of pre-industrial textile production.
The works held in collections illuminate various aspects of fiber arts and craft during these two centuries. Specific pieces listed include two separate entries titled Shuttle, suggesting a focus on the implements or products of weaving. Further examples documented are Fragment, Fragments, and the visually significant piece Picture (Needlework), indicating skill in decorative needlework techniques. Due to the antiquity of these works, digital reproductions of the textiles often fall into the public domain, making them available for scholarly use and the creation of high-quality prints.
