FAQs

Eighteenth-century needlework was commonly produced by women as part of their domestic education, often depicting flora, fauna, and pastoral scenes using silk and wool threads on canvas or silk grounds.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun silk or wool embroidery threads stitched onto a linen, canvas, or silk background, housed within hand-carved wooden frames.

Authentication relies on examining the fibre composition under magnification, observing hand-spun thread characteristics, identifying period-appropriate frame construction, and checking for natural ageing and oxidisation of the materials.

Antique embroideries add historical texture to contemporary spaces when hung on neutral walls, paired with minimalist frames or displayed within gallery walls to create a focal point.

To preserve historic textiles, display them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, maintain stable indoor humidity levels, and use UV-filtering glass when framing.
