Bird & Flower
early 19th


Delightfully naive embroidery with charming subject. Framed it would make a very nice present.


Cataloguing


silkwork embroidery, the fine cotton ground embroidered in thick floss silks with a peacock standing on a rose branch, the sides with a simple meander and a more complicated larger leaf meander above, using pink, cerise, yellow, green and blue and tan, 13 in or 34 cm sq


Condition


Very good. There are some small brown markings which you should be able to see in the photo. If this was framed these could be covered by a mount. This has the pencil line to the edges.
