{"product_id":"antique-english-wool-needlepoint-in-ornate-gilt-frame","title":"Antique English Wool Needlepoint in Ornate Gilt Frame","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautifully decorative antique wool needlepoint from England, featuring a traditional floral bouquet worked against a deep slate-blue ground. Warm shades of ochre, rust, cream, muted red, and green give the composition the wonderfully softened palette that comes only with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe needlework is housed in an especially substantial and highly detailed gilt frame, layered with deeply molded foliate and classical ornament. The richness of the frame gives the textile considerable presence and makes the piece feel more like a small work of European decorative art than traditional needlepoint alone. Particularly handsome styled into an English country gallery wall, above a small chest or writing desk, or layered among equestrian paintings and antique gilt frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn excellent Martingale East piece—the combination of aged textile, dark ground, florals, and unapologetically ornate gilding has exactly the collected-over-generations quality we look for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eSpectacular antique condition with age-related wear and patina consistent with its history. The needlepoint has not been examined outside of the frame. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSIZE\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 22\"L × 19\"W overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePROVENANCE\u003cbr\u003eAntique, sourced from England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMATERIAL\u003cbr\u003eWool needlepoint; gilt decorative frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTYLING SUGGESTIONS\u003cbr\u003eDisplay among antique oils and sporting art on a layered gallery wall, or let it stand alone above a dark wood chest with silver, leather-bound books, and a clipped boxwood.
