Weeping Willow Silk Needlepoint

A rare find. This stunning vintage needlework is totally made of silk: silk tea-hued ground cloth, and subtle variations of greyed-green silk threads for the leaves. The entire scene is so very finely embroidered…just such an incredible work of art! In its original frame and early glass, this needlework has some age to it. At some point before framing, this silk work may have been stored in a roll, because I can detect uniform soft discoloration in the ground cloth – not the actual needlepoint itself. A water stain is found in the bottom left corner. For me, none of these detract from its incredible beauty.

Beautiful condition, with the exception of uniform soft discoloration in the ground cloth – not the actual needlepoint itself. A water stain is found in the bottom left corner.
