MID 19TH CENTURY NEEDLEPOINT OF A GIRL WITH HER LARGE PET DOG - C. 1860




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:716
Original Description:
Mid 19th century needlepoint picture c.1860. Worked in wool on gauze, this needlepoint is completely charming with neat stitch work throughout. The gauze is stitched with a winsome scene of a young girl wearing a red dress with a tartan sash around her waist. She is sitting on a stretch of grass with her large pet dog, possibly a Labrador, lying patiently at her side, The couple are sitting amongst flowers and shrubs with a stretch of water and a snow capped mountain behind them.The ga...uze has overall discolouration consistent with its age, paler around the edges from where the needlepoint is tacked onto a stretcher. There are two paler ovoid shaped marks showing on the photo of the lower right quadrant of the needlepoint. These are bubbles in the glass and not on the gauze. The needlepoint is behind hand blown glass so I'm not able to see the reverse, but the colours of the wool appear good though they are likely to have mellowed to some extent over the years. The needlepoint is contained within its original shaped walnut frame with gilt slip and decorative fretwork cornice. Both frame and slip are in good condition with a small area of veneer loss on the bottom right side edge of the frame and the odd light scratch commensurate with their age. The last photo is of the back of the frame and shows it has been backed in fabric, some time in the early 20th century judging by the pattern of the fabric. One is able to feel the central strut of the stretcher through the fabric which tells us that there is no board over the needlepoint, just the fabric.Measures 16 3/4" at the widest measurement across the frame & 15 3/4" at the narrowest part. The vertical measurement excluding the cornice is 16 1/4" and 21 1/2" including the cornice & the small detail at the bottom of the frame 
PLEASE NOTE - ANY MARKS ETC ON THE PHOTOS WHICH I'VE NOT ALREADY MENTIONED ARE FROM THE GLARE AND REFLECTION OF THE GLASS AND NOT ON THE SAMPLER ITSELF.
ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK. ALSO PLEASE CHECK OUT THE OTHER SAMPLERS I'M SELLING. I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE POSTAGE ON MULTIPLE PURCHASES.PLEASE NOTE - THIS ITEM IS LOCATED IN THE UK BUT CAN BE SHIPPED TO THE LOCATIONS TICKED IN THE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING SECTION.
SHIPPING WILL BE VIA FEDEX - FULLY TRACKED DELIVERY TO THE USA WITHIN FOUR WORKING DAYS.
