Comments

Beautiful colours and composition. I bought six of these, three pairs which have been purpose made, not cut from a larger hanging. Perhaps they were for a screen.

I did not put these in the crewel wool work section because they are small and narrow.
These would look stunning mounted or just turned under and hung as they are. If you would like us to mount these up for you on stretchers or over acid free card ready for framing please ask for a quote.

Condition

Excellent apart from the inner edges which are a little damaged. These could be turned under when mounted.
