For Sale by Textile Antiques
Description

Worked in silk and wool in petit point, within a border of cross stitch, with a bucolic scene in the manner of the fêtes galantes of Nicolas Lancret. A courting couple, their faces worked in a still finer stitch, recline at the foot of a tree while a boatman punts away and two dogs run towards them. A picturesque ruin stands at the left, with a church and other buildings on the rising ground of the further bank of the river.

Mounted on a stretcher.

FAQs

An 18th century needlework picture is a hand-stitched textile artwork created during the Georgian era, executed in tent stitch, petit point, or gros point on a canvas ground. These pieces depicted pastoral landscapes, biblical scenes, or classical allegories, serving as decorative wall art and evidence of domestic textile skill.

These textiles were typically crafted using dyed woollen yarns and silk threads worked onto a woven linen or hemp canvas matrix. Finer details, such as figures, foliage, and architectural elements, were achieved using silk petit point stitches set within broader areas of wool gros point.

Authentic 18th century needlework displays hand-spun thread irregularities, natural vegetable dye tone shifts, and wear to the ground fabric. Inspecting the reverse side reveals original unfaded thread colours and hand-knotted construction consistent with period stitching methods.

Mounting an antique textile artwork within a slim wood frame creates a focal point against neutral or deeply saturated wall finishes. Placing the panel as part of an eclectic gallery wall alongside architectural prints introduces texture and historical contrast to contemporary spaces.

Keep needlework framed under UV-filtering glass and positioned away from direct sunlight, humidity, and active heat sources to prevent fibre degradation and dye loss. Archival, acid-free mounting boards should be used to support the textile without introducing chemical degradation.
