Needle Point / 12460

This Needle Point round presents a measured restraint in wool, a compact study of medallion design rendered in a soft cream and tan ground with lively accents. The composition reads as concentric registers: a small central cartouche, a ring of scalloped foliate lobes and delicate scrolling motifs, all contained by a rope-like outer border. Low distress reveals a gently handled surface and well-preserved colour transitions that emphasize the needlework’s hand. The piece is tactile and quietly ornate, an antique rug with clarity of pattern and calm palette, sized at 2' 0" x 2' 0". Circa 1850 - 1870
