This authentic antique c.1930s English embroidery depicts a Crinoline Lady, in bonnet and period green gown. A wonderful find,which are increasingly rare and hard to come by. In her hands she carries a posy of roses, similar to those adorning the hem of her gown. While around her shoulders she wears a fringed shawl, in a similar colour to her epitome green period dress. From her bonnet flow long ribbons.
In the foreground are flowers to either corner.
Exquisitely embroidered, the work is fine and extensive.
The linen ground has age related patina; brown mottling & watermark to the base of the panel, but overall the piece is in good antique condition for its very considerable age.
In its original black wood frame it measures approximately 11.5ins. (29.5cm) x 12.5ins. (32cm).
A charming authentic piece for the lovingly assembled period/period inspired home.
