FAQs

Crewelwork is a type of surface embroidery using wool yarn that gained significant popularity in England during the Jacobean era of the 17th and 18th centuries.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-spun wool crewel yarns embroidered on a linen or heavy cotton twill ground fabric, mounted over a wooden frame, often incorporating glass plates.

Authentication involves examining the types of stitches used, the natural ageing and oxidisation of the wool yarns, the hand-woven characteristics of the backing ground fabric, and the construction methods of the underlying wooden frame.

Such pieces serve as striking focal points in traditional or eclectic schemes, often hung above a fireplace mantel or console table to introduce texture, historical depth, and soft colour.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, maintaining stable humidity levels, and gently dusting the surface with a soft brush without applying moisture or cleaning chemicals.
