Antique Garden Needlework Picture on Silk Ground

A charming antique needlework picture depicting a picturesque formal garden, with a central pathway leading towards a rustic garden seat. The scene features colourful flowerbeds, flowering trees, clipped hedges and a small ornamental tree, worked in coloured thread on a fine silk ground. The garden design is presented in an attractive oval ebonised wooden frame fitted with a hanging loop and chain to the top. The combination of delicate needlework, the traditional garden subject and the dark oval frame gives the piece considerable period charm. The reverse retains remnants of the original paper backing, together with old handwritten inscriptions that are now difficult to decipher fully. ♻️ we care about our little planet and use recycled boxes ♻️
