<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 199356, member: 37&quot;]A friend gave me this because he knows I like old things and it was destined for the trash.&nbsp; It is about 12 x 15 and is framed behind glass.&nbsp; The embroidery is done on felt with black, white and some pink thread.&nbsp; It is not thin and shiny enough to be silk.&nbsp; Maybe wool?&nbsp; The mat is just some paper tape glued to the felt. </p><p><br /></p><p>Based on the framing, I would guess this to be anywhere from the 20s-50s, though the backing paper looks more like 30s-40s (not old and cruddy enough to be 20s and not good enough looking to be 50s).&nbsp; There is nothing distinguishing the back and it is just sealed paper with glued packing type tape applied.&nbsp; There are no markings of any kind and I have not examined this out of the frame.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I know this kind of thing was particularly popular in the 20s but I think there may have been a revival of sorts post WWII.&nbsp; Any idea of age on this?&nbsp; Anything else you can tell me about it?&nbsp; Is it saleable or should I just use the frame for something else?&nbsp; Is it worth taking this from the frame to look for markings?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]56922[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]56923[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]56924[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]56925[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
