Antique Georgian Fine Silk & Gilt Thread Embroidery Framed: C1800 Britain
Item Details:
A superb example of original Georgian embroidery!
The work is so fine it’s hard to believe it was worked just in natural and candle light.
Hand worked in silks and gilt thread it depicts an urn of flowers within an iridescent chenille embroidered frame.
We originally bought the embroidery as a long term project to remount but are so busy with work and life it’s time to pass it on….and truth be told we love how it is in its crumbling timeworn condition.
The work is incredible, especially the gilt threadwork on the urn and in the flower centres.
The embroidery comes in a glazed gold gilt frame.
We would love this to go to a collector of such things, somone who appreciates the ethereal nature of such things….
