LONG LENGTH ANTIQUE FRENCH NEEDLEPOINT TAPESTRY BED CANOPY FLOWER SWIRLS c1880
The perfect statement piece. Made from wool threads, set onto a blue hessian backed by a sateen gold cotton. Originally made for a bed canopy trim or four poster bed trim. A long frieze of flower swirls, the colors have faded over the passage of time, muted tones of greens, blues, pale pink, beiges and browns - photo 1 shows the colors best on my monitor. Across the top is a black, red, cream and brown rope wool trim. For a textile of some 137 years of age the tapestry is in exceptional condition for its age with no holes or loss of threads.
Condition
The blue hessian has faded with a couple of tiny holes, the sateen cotton backing is dirty and marked although not torn, this could be replaced. A pom pom trim to the bottom edge which has pom poms missing - please see all photographs.
Perfect for the purpose it was made for or alternatively, frame, hang or repurpose
