The embroidery has clearly been influenced by Seventeenth century embroidered motifs or slips *. Beautifully embroidered and charming subject matter. Would be suitable as a hanging or bedcover.

Very good. There are two small holes on the lower left hand side and a small light mark. Ask for close up photos.
