<p>[QUOTE=&quot;techbiker, post: 4557664, member: 60629&quot;]Appreciate all of your help.</p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased the set from a major auction house in the UK. The focus of this sale was interior decorations, with many from the 19th century. There was no age given for the needlework, however the valuation was 200-400 GBP plus buyer&#039;s premium and there was competition. They keep a fairly high bar for entries.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you look for in needlepoints to differentiate late Georgian and Victorian pieces? I&#039;ve been surprised by the good condition of many older pieces from UK auction houses. Unless the nails were new old stock, unusual for the period, or I&#039;m missing something I don&#039;t know how the dancer would date later than around 1835. I apologize if I&#039;m coming across as rude- just don&#039;t have much experience with older needlepoint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there something about the style of these needlework patterns that appears newer? Thank you for your patience with my questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will also reach out to the auction house with questions, however in many cases information available is limited.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
