Wow. I've always been under the impression that this project was worked by a small "stitchery circle" because each animal square has a signature...
I can do the stitching and may some day, but I like the unfinished-ness of it right now. If I've found them all, there are 20 needles in the...
Correct!
Yep - each critter and the ribbon & bow border are Elizabeth Bradley kits.
Sorry for the late reply... it's on the Monterey peninsula in California. This unfinished piece was definitely made by a needlepoint group because...
I had to stack two pair of cheap readers and use a loupe. :watching:
Wow... zooming in I can see the cross stitching. It's more visible on the glossy floss - almost hidden in the wool, but there. There are also...
Quite possibly. My phone cam can really bugger up colors. The most representative color would be close to the warmer green at the arcs - not the...
I feel like "Art Deco" is tossed around pretty loosely when people are selling old things.
Holy moly... that's it - thank you! I did reverse image search and that never came up. I purchased it at a multivendor antique store (in CA).The...
I got a needlepoint piece yesterday that I'm "investigating". Pretty darned certain the actual needlework isn't as old as the style...

I was thinking it might possibly be waved and pinned up - "faux bob". I can't tweak the contrast enough to bring up detail. Love that era,...
She is pretty! The thing is that there's no break in the surface of the platter. That is to say it doesn't have the appearance or feel (when...
I picked up this Royal Epiag porcelain platter yesterday. It's approximately 12" x 8" and a beautiful gradient robin's egg blue. The floral...
I love it when a detail from a long past experience bubbles up to the surface and solves a mystery! It answered all the questions, too - age,...
Oh. My. DOG... I even trawled 1stdibs, but never would have searched those words! Thank you! Based on that description I found another one,...
Its not magnetic at all. It totally lost it's Mexican vibe and became more Italian- or French-looking when I got a good look at it. I thought I'd...
When I first spotted this piece from across a room I thought it was a cool Mexican tin mirror, but up close it seemed the rococo style said...
*ack* My clumsy bad - sorry! Will edit.
