This King George III period silkwork embroidery is English in origin. We see a rural river scene with farm and giant haystacks in the background. A horse and cart travel along the lane while two men in a rowing boat cross the river. From a distance you would think this to be an engraving but actually it is an embroidery on silk ground. Worked in neat monochrome grays, black and brown threads, this was a fashionable technique for embroidered pictures at this time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoused behind glass in its original gilt frame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize: Frame 12 inch by 14 inch (30.5 cm by 35.5 cm). Oval aperture 8 1\/4 inch by 10 inch (21 cm by 26 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: It looks great on the wall, but on inspection it is showing its vast age, if you are looking for a tidy Georgian silkwork, respectfully this is not the item for you. The silk ground has a large crescent shaped split to the central sky area. The silk floss threads to the river have moved\/loosened with time. The frame - the four decorative roundels in each corner are naive\/amateur replacements. A stable vertical crack to the gilt wood mount top left. All clearly and accurately photographed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mygrid\" class=\"rl-grid\"\u003eItem id:\u003cspan itemprop=\"productID\"\u003e14524\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57931440685438,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/8991\/8846\/files\/794e.png?v=1787921240","url":"https:\/\/onebakerstreet.com\/products\/18th-century-silkwork-printwork-embroidery-river-scene-english-c-1790","provider":"onebakerstreet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
