FAQs

Gros point is a style of canvas embroidery executed with wool yarn using cross-stitch or tent stitch on open-grid canvas. Popular during the 19th century, these textiles often featured detailed pictorial subjects including figures, animals, and landscapes.

Mid-19th century needlework typically utilised coloured wool threads worked over stiffened canvas backings. Completed panels were traditionally stretched, mounted onto boards, and fitted inside polished wooden or gilt frames behind glass.

Authentic period pieces display hand-stitched variations, uneven reverse yarn ends, and age-consistent colour fading. Original framing features timber backing boards, hand-cut glass, and period-appropriate mounting techniques.

Framed textile art introduces historical texture to contemporary spaces when displayed on gallery walls or narrow vertical surfaces. Positioning the piece alongside understated wood furnishings complements the artisan craftsmanship.

Keep wool needlework away from direct sunlight, UV exposure, and damp conditions to prevent fabric deterioration and fading. Clean the outer glass and frame frame using a dry microfibre cloth without introducing liquid cleaners.
