How do I hang a framed textile?

Hang these pieces away from direct sunlight to prevent the silk and wool threads from fading over time. Maintain stable room humidity to protect both the fabric and the wooden frame. Ensure the hanging wire or brackets securely support the weight of the framed glass and wooden surround.

How can I tell the period?

Examine the materials used for the ground fabric, such as hand-woven linen versus later cotton bases. Stitch styles and framing materials also provide clues to whether a piece originates from the eighteenth century or the Victorian era. Signatures, dates, and inscriptions worked directly into samplers offer direct evidence of origin.

Are all these pieces wall art?

While most items are designed as wall art or framed panels, some examples take the form of functional furnishings. You will find antique embroidered panels incorporated into footstools and crewelwork armchairs. Both wall-hung pictures and upholstered seating utilise the same historical needlework techniques.
