Marvellous colours and subject matter. This isone of the nicest small embroideries I have had. Great for a present.
With a central ornate fountain, the base with slightly raised gold wire in a basket work pattern, flanked by large yellow and apricot/pale brown tulips and daffodils, and green and yellow parrots, with foliage and strapwork, in shades of soft coral and blue floss silks, the ground in ivory silk laidwork, 20 x 7 1/2 in.
Very good condition. Just a little wear here and there where the ground coarse linen shows through, but this is hardly discernible. This has been cut down from a longer panel so you can only see the parrots heads and part of their bodies, not their tails.
