Peggy McClard Antiques Americana & Folk Art |

This is a beautiful and very unusual needlework picture of a 19th
century interior scene. It is silk thread worked on silk fabrics with
some early lace, chenille, hair, and painted paper face and hands used
to bring in all the wonderful detail. All of the fabrics appear to be
period. The frame is early, as is the glass. I think it is circa
1890...but could have been put together from 19th century fabrics in the
1930s or 1940s. The frame has been taken apart and put back together
with later brass screws--possibly for cleaning. I can say with assurance
that it is a wonderful piece of Americana worthy of any collection. The
frame (with a small shadowbox) measures 12 3/8" x 13 3/4".
(#2952) $850
