EARLY 19th CENTURY FRAMED FINE SILK EMBROIDERY SCENE

EARLY 19th CENTURY FRAMED FINE SILK AND WOOL EMBROIDERY SCENE

A fine skillfully embroidered silk and wool picture circa 1810-1820 worked in varying shades of silk threads on a cream silk fabric, featuring courting couples with their small dog and two doves. I believe this embroidery to be European. The technique used is with satin stitches and wool work on head, face, neck and both hands. Wool on the faces and hands have damage, as seen in photos. In very good condition. Original glass, hand painted insert, frame and backing. Size: Frame 21-1/4" x 18". In original gilt frame with gilt chipping missing around the frame. On the back is an old label from a Restorer from Dublin. For the collector.

Our descriptions are true and accurate to the best of our ability. We try to observe and report every defect that we are aware of to give the buyer an accurate description but to mention every single minor blemish is laborious and unnecessary. As condition and description is largely based on personal opinion, we ask that you look at the photos carefully and decide the rating and pattern if applicable of this item for yourself. Antiques in perfect condition are more often than not, reproductions. We never knowingly sell fakes.
