[QUOTE="Poisonivy, post: 544192, member: 2417"]I have seen some Regency embroideries similar to this but the ones I've seen were worked on silk so if the background is painted then that is unusual. I would place it 1800-1820. I would think it was worked in silk, it's hard to tell from photos but Regency embroideries usually were. I wouldn't worry about the cracking, to me it adds to it's charm and for an embroidery that is around 200 years old it's in lovely condition and a very nice find. Hope that helps. By the way is it behind glass?[/QUOTE]
