Lot 318: A Collection of Framed Decorative Textiles and Mixed Media Artworks
A group of framed decorative works comprising two needlepoint embroideries, an embossed metal relief, and two circular decorative plaques. The central needlepoint depicts a horizontal spray of carnations and daisies in polychrome wools against a black ground, housed in a stepped gilt-wood frame. Partially visible behind is a larger needlepoint work portraying a female figure wearing a pink-trimmed bonnet and a white dress, set within a cream-coloured frame with gilt accents. Below the floral work is a framed gold-toned embossed metal relief, depicting multiple figures in traditional dress against a black ground, set within a narrow gilt frame. To the left are two circular decorative plaques featuring transfer-printed scenes, one of which depicts a rural thatched-roof cottage. No signatures or maker’s marks are legible on the surfaces of the items shown.
