Stretched Roses
Stretched Roses
This is a really interesting piece, I hemmed and hawed (sp?) about the pricing on this piece and then again on whether I wanted to let it go at all. I thought about maybe trying to repurpose the fabric in another way, I don't think there's enough of it to make much of a top but I thought about how gorgeous a button up with this embroidery would look and then I thought again about what that would cost me to have it engineered and I decided maybe the place this piece is supposed to be is in your home, and not mine.
No inscription or any sort of branding on the back of this piece deepens the mystery.
What I can confirm is that this is a beautifully embroidered object, wood framed with glass. I conditioned it a B minus as it's not perfect perfect but I think the detail of embroidery more than makes up for small wear it's seen over the last few decades.
