WILLIAM & MARY / WILLIAM III NEEDLEWORK SILK TAPESTRY

England, Late 17th & Early 18th Centuries

 

 

 

The center comprising two panels of very intricate silk embroidery on a silk ground, with a maned lion amidst scrolls

 and foliage on one panel, a fountain, flowers and scrolls on the other; the border probably Queen Anne period,

early 18th century, with couched silk and embroidered lotus floral scrolls; backing of antique claret silk

 

Condition:  Excellent for the age; some area of loose silk threads; several very small breaks to silk ground;

silk backing unfolding but secured at the top.

 

Note: Needlework of this delicacy is best preserved beneath glass.  They make excellent additions to painting collections. 

The panel can be mounted on silk or antique linen, with a frame of your choice.  This treatment is a personal

decision, and we will be happy to assist in the chosen presentation of this needlework.
