<p>[QUOTE=&quot;techbiker, post: 4610757, member: 60629&quot;]Recommend OP check to see if the canvas itself is printed or is plain. If the piece was framed in the UK, there is a chance it&#039;s an antique. Needlepoint has been around for hundreds of years, especially in the UK and Europe. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needlepoint" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needlepoint" rel="nofollow">Needlepoint - Wikipedia</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I pulled apart a couple of the frames holding the British needlepoints in my recent thread and although the pictures are vibrant, they all appear quite old (3/5 130yrs+). I don&#039;t believe it&#039;s possible to determine the age of a particular needlepoint just by the vibrancy of its colors.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. I&#039;ve been stunned by the quality and execution of some antique needlepoints. It&#039;s a shame that many sell for so little.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
