Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:23734632
Original Description:
Late 18th/early 19th century silk work -  c.1800 or earlier. This silk work has been conserved to a very high standard, I would say sometime in the mid 20th century. One can see that the flowers etc have been stitched meticulously onto the backing fabric which has the appearance of water silk. This silk work is just stunning with fine quality stitch work throughout. The cream coloured backing fabric is stitched with a sinuous spray of flowers both in bud and full bloom surrounded ...by lush foliageThe backing fabric has has overall discolouration consistent with its age, with the odd snag and very small faint mark. The silk work is behind glass so I'm not able to see the reverse, but the colours of the silks appear good though they are likely to have mellowed to some extent over the years. The silk work is contained within a good quality mid 19th century bird's eye maple frame with gilt slip. Both are in good condition with the odd scratch and scuff mark and a small loss to the inner edge of the lower left corner of the slip.Measures 9" x 10 3/4" (sight size) and 13" x 14 3/4" including the frame.
PLEASE NOTE - ANY MARKS ETC ON THE PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH I'VE NOT ALREADY MENTIONED ARE FROM THE GLARE AND REFLECTION OF THE GLASS AND NOT ON THE SILK WORK 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.
