LARGE MID/LATE 19TH CENTURY NEEDLEPOINT OF A SPANIEL IN A RURAL SETTING - C. 1860




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:78075
Original Description:
Impressively large needlepoint picture c.1860  or slightly  later. Worked in wool on gauze, this needlepoint is completely charming with neat stitch work throughout. The foreground of the gauze is stitched with a winsome scene of a spaniel relaxing on a stretch of grass surrounded by flowers and shrubs with a leafy tree to his right. There is a building to the left side of the spaniel with a tributary running past it which flows into a large lake. A further building stands on... a rocky outcrop on the left side of the lake whilst its shoreline is edged with trees.
The gauze which is visible has overall discolouration consistent with its age with some minor fraying around the edges. The colours of the wool are good, albeit not quite as bright as when this piece was originally made. There is also the odd stitch missing here and there. The last photo is of the reverse of the needlepoint and indicates how the colours would have looked when it was first stitched. This photograph also shows an old patch repair above the spaniel's head. If one looks at the front of the needlepoint, one is able to see that this area has been torn at some point of time. It has been stitched then the patch applied to keep that area stable. As can also be seen from the photographs, there are several large splits in the sky area, the largest being approximately eight inches long and some much smaller splits elsewhere. PLEASE NOTE - This is a large piece measuring 39 1/2" x 29 3/4"
DUE TO THE SPLITS IN THE SKY AREA I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT HANDLING OF THE NEEDLEPOINT BE KEPT TO A MINIMUM UNTIL IT IS BEHIND GLASS AND FRAMED. ALSO, IF HANDLING IS NECESSARY, I WOULD ADVISE IT BE PICKED UP BY THE CORNERS ON THE SHORTER SIDES AND NOT ON THE TOP EDGE AS THIS MAY CAUSE FURTHER SPLITTING TO OCCUR.
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 ROYAL MAIL TRACK & SIGNED - $20.00 TO THE USA, ELSEWHERE PLEASE CONTACT ME.
