Magnificent
Needlepoint & Petitpoint Picture. |
| This
magnificent needlepoint and petitpoint picture was made in 1851.
The workmanship on this piece is outstanding. The entire picture
is done in needlepoint, petitpoint and french knots. The scene appears
to show Christopher Columbus telling Queen Isabela about the new
world in 1490. On the back is written the provenance of who made
this wonderful piece of art. It reads "Mary-Helen (Ward) Olsen
from Kenneth E. Ward Made by John G. Ward at age 12 in 1851".
It has been framed in a large wooden gold leaf frame and is under
glass. The frame measures 34 1/2 by 28 inches and the actual needlepoint
piece measures 29 by 23 1/2 inches. It is in excellent condition
with bright vivid colors and absolutely wonderful workmanship. The
frame backing looks like it has been taken apart and taped back
together. $500 |
