<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 5477589, member: 8363&quot;]I was wandering around today and flipped over this decrepit, old frame and to my wondering eyes did appear a more modern copy of an old ad for a Stevengraph.&nbsp; A quick check on my phone indicated that it was an antique and from Coventry England too!&nbsp; I grabbed it before they realized their mistake (vintage), and the old nasty thing came home with me. </p><p><br /></p><p>After some research I found that some people here know about Stevengraphs, so I thought I might get some more details.&nbsp; [USER=8267]@2manybooks[/USER]&nbsp; found a Wikipedia link that gave the range from 1862-1930s?</p><p><br /></p><p>I found one with the lighter colored coach and the brown mat that had cited an 1870 mark.&nbsp; (Some have redder coaches.)&nbsp; Apparently [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] has some Stevengraphs and of course, [USER=29]@Ownedbybear[/USER] probably has at least four.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine is small at 6 inches by 2 inches, while the frame is 9.5 inches by 7 inches.&nbsp; Under the embroidery it says: &quot;Woven in silk by Thomas Stevens, inventor and manufacturer, Coventry and London (Registered)&quot;&nbsp; Under that it says &quot;The Good Old Days&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts, ideas, comments, etc greatly appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh that is an optical illusion and not missing glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]415838[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]415839[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]415840[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]415841[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]415842[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]415843[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
