This beautifully-worked, colourful and evocative BEADWORK PICTURE bears the label of THE PICTURE SHOP, 65 BROMFIELD STREET, BOSTON, a Store in Massachusetts, USA. It dates from the latter half of the 19th Century.
The GILT FRAME appears to be original to the beadwork and this leads to the belief that the BEADWORK PICTURE is also AMERICAN in origin.
It is worked entirely in the smallest of glass beads and seems to depict the typical AMERICAN HOMESTEAD at its centre, surrounded by beautiful ARUM LILIES and coloured FOLIAGE.
The fineness and the colour of the beads gives the picture an overall festive aura and a sparkle.
It is the work of a very accomplished needle-worker.
The whole is in good condition and behind glass.
