[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 266079, member: 5170"]Hey all: I purchased this large piece in southern Illinois over the weekend. I know very little about Victorian needlework, but I liked this piece. So: I assume this is American. Any ideas about date? What kind of needlework is this? Are the piece and the frame approximately the same age? I like the walnut frame as much as the needlework. The frame is 23" wide x 27" high. The dimensions of the piece are about 17.5" wide x 21.5" high, but probably slightly larger to account for the frame. The original wood backing has been replaced by cardboard. I do not see any sign of initials or a name. So, here are my guesses (and that's all they are).
