<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Debora, post: 4228220, member: 1476&quot;]I suspect those are vintage rather than antique as they don&#039;t look quite 100 years old.&nbsp; They do both look like needlepoint but, of course, hard to tell for the piece behind glass.&nbsp; (You can always just open it up.&nbsp; Back is covered in kraft paper which any framer can replace.)&nbsp; Wonder if there&#039;s any symbolism to the five flower choices to the longer piece. (Tudor Rose?&nbsp; Carnation?&nbsp; Marigold?&nbsp; Thistle?&nbsp; And what... Iris?) The flags look like fantasies although the red cross on white may be intended to be the flag of England or even Genoa.&nbsp; Typically, these were done from kits and the first looks as if it was.&nbsp; Given its size and its choice of imagery, the second looks much more personal.&nbsp; Why all the flags, for instance?&nbsp; (And are you sure it&#039;s a man-of-war.&nbsp; If it is, you should be able to see cannons.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
