Richly colored floral embroidery stands out against a dramatic black ground in this beautifully framed vintage textile artwork. The ornate gold-toned frame gives the small piece an especially decorative, old-world presence.
Worked in shades of violet, lavender, ivory, yellow and green, the embroidery combines densely stitched flowers with delicate foliage. The varied direction and layering of the threads create wonderful texture and dimension, particularly against the dark fabric.
An ornate frame with raised floral, scroll and rope detailing surrounds the needlework, its softly aged gold and ivory finish complementing the colors of the embroidery. At just 7.5 inches high, it is an ideal size for a gallery wall, collected art display or smaller space.
The original backing retains a label from a framing and art business in Aveiro, Portugal.
