Triplet George Washington Textile Stitchwork

Hello. This is quite large approx 2.25 ft wide and 8 inches tall. How old is this and is it valuable? Thank you

 

framer did a poor job...covering the stars.....nice but looks like craft work....
I vote...of little value !

 

I think this may be 1976 bicentennial. Frames look very similar to what was available at that time.

As for the fabric - looks like trapunto(spelling). Home crafter needlework was very popular in the 70s.

Value at this point minimal. Bicentennial items have not become collectible yet.

 

I'm getting a 1976 b... (checks new message posting)

SNIPED by @clutteredcloset49 !

 

Very likely from the Bicentennial.

The frames were joined at a later date, that type of picture hanger is newer.

Just curious if these are family items?

 

No these are not family items. Do you think bicentennial items will become valuable soon. Is this worth $50 now?thanks

 

The Bicentennial was a terrible period for design. (Purple petunias everywhere. Ugh.) Just my opinion but... I think it would be difficult to find a buyer for your item. Colonial decor has fallen far out of favor and unlikely to return to popularity.

You'd be lucky to get $5 for the lot at a yard sale, and if you did someone would be buying them for the frames. Most Bicentennial pieces aren't worth much.

 

Sorry, not anywhere near that.

Taken off that thing holding them together and sold individually, maybe $2 each, and you'd be lucky to sell 1 or 2 of the little pictures.

 

Might have been made overseas since the “tree” in the middle one looks more like a cactus than the Prunus Serotina allegedly felled by George.

 

Maybe they will get some attention at the 250th anniversary in 2026? Just found out that anniversary has some odd names applied to it. Sestercentennial seems to be the main one, according to the table in this Wikipedia article. Some of the others they list sound odd, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anniversary

 

Being honest now, most people will see these things as kitsch. I think your only hope of getting more than $5. Is to find someone who collects bicentennialiana.
