Urn of Flowers Needlework w/Gold(?) Thread

Price: 225

Sold by West Pelham Antiques

A very nice crewel(?) work on paper image of an urn of flowers. All the elements in the image are edge in gold thread and the butterfly on the urn includes gold (or metallic) decoration on its wings. The piece, which probably dates c. 1900 or before, is in very fine condition with only some light staining at the bottom (especially in the bottom right corner) and there are no tears or holes in the piece. It is framed in an attractive and very appropriate wooden frame with a gold liner. The image size is 7 ¼” x 9 ¾” and the frame measures 11 ¼” x 13 ½”.
