$676 USD SaleSALE RARE Antique Beadwork Fireplace Screen Panel, HUGE
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
In the finest style and colors, this elegant old panel done completely in glass beads would have been a hanging fireplace screen that was mounted on a hinged mount which would allow the screen to maneuver in position to protect the seated guest. Victorian era homes would have been incomplete without such screens to protect the wax-makeup cheeks of ladies from a devastating 'melt-down' or from heat blushed spots while they gathered near the warming hearth for gossip, flirtations, music or sewing. ...

$251 USD SaleSALE Rare 19th C. French Gilt Bronze & Silk Embroidery Face Screen Pair
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
You know, we've had some really beautiful old face screen pairs over the years, and often times just the handles and frames themselves are as striking and lovely all on their own. It was this set's frames/handles that appealed to me most, though the embroidered silk screens are certainly lovely as well. VERY Victorian, Napoleon III era, these would have been available in any fine home for guests who would sit near the fireplace of an evening, chatting or listening to music together. To have had ...

$506 USD SaleSALE Superb Frame, Antique Beaded Needlepoint Victorian Tapestry, Child, Cat
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
NOTE: This tapestry was featured in the July 2007 issue of the magazine, "Romantic Homes". It's going to be famous! (smile). What a beauty! This is one of my favorite scenes among many we've owned through the years - children at play and a wiley cat joining in. We'd date this one to earliest 1800s, by the way, and at latest to early Victorian period. I think it is beautifully framed, and that the frame and glass might very well be original and as old as the tapestry. The frame is burled wood ...

$676 USD SaleSALE Antique French 1780-1820 Silk Embroidery, Frame
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
A spectacular needlework artistry example from the Napoleonic Era (French Empire) to Louis Philippe era, finest stitching ever with single strand silk threads used along with chenille in silk. The face and hands are painted silk, as is the sky, but the balance is all entirely done in the most miniscule stitches of colored silk threads we've ever seen. The tree and landscape has the texture you see from 'chenille work' stitches. The piece is in remarkably fine condition and remains so under a ...
$251 USD SaleSALE Victorian Beaded Needlepoint Panel, 1850s Fraternal or Religious Sash
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
Not sure just what this panel was intended to become, but it has the distinct look of a fraternal order sash or belt (large!). Seems to me someone told us that the four 'F' stood for such things as 'Fidelity', etc., etc., and was a religious or fraternal insignia from Germany. Experts? Would, however, be a wonderful panel to incorporate into the top of a fine down-filled & opulently fringed accent/throw pillow for your home. Excellent condition! Never made up, so it hasn't any beadwork or ...

Group some of these fine old needlework tapestries or samplers for a fabulous wall. Remember, women were ...
$251 USD SaleSALE Antique Victorian Beadwork Needlepoint Pelmet, Fragment
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
This one is spectacular! The pelmet is in fine condition, has the most Victorian look of all - the big florals, and the palette is perfect for your Victorian or French Country decor. A pelmet is the needlework trim or skirt that was used to front a corner shelf or wall shelf, of course, but is perfect for use now atop one of those wonderful & opulent down-filled and silk fringed accent pillows. This one would be perfect for that use, beadwork is intact and the canvas and work is supple, sturdy. ...

Definitely charming and a great decorative piece! Excellent condition! No missing beads, no tears to the punchwork panel and it appears to be in the original gilt gesso on wood frame. ...
$421 USD SaleSALE Antique Victorian Needlepoint, Fine Wood Frame, Arabian Horses
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
In the manner of French artist Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier, popular in the early to mid-1800s as France's favorite 'Realist' painter of his time, and whose subject matter included Exotic scenes of horses and battle scenes, often with Asian overtones, this needlepoint is relatively easy to date to first half of the 1800s. (NOTE: you can read a fascinating chronicle of Meissonier's fame and fall into obscurity in Ross King's book, "The Judgement of Paris"). Arabian horses mounted by exotic Middle ...
$1,016 USD SaleSALE Antique 1600-1700s Needlepoint Fragment PAIR, Framed Tapestries
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
A wonderful way to save and enjoy fragments of 1600s to 1700s needlework fragments, these I bought in England last Spring, planning on using them in my own home but I still have not found that perfect spot for them, so into the shop they go! The needlework panels are so rich in color and elegant in design detail and stitching, and are beautifully matched from behing with complimenting 'fills' of later needlepoint panels to disguise the sections that are open/missing in the very early silk/wool ...
$421 USD SaleSALE Antique French Needlepoint Panel Pair, 1850s Fragments for Pillows
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
Fantastic old pieces taken from French settee, these mustard and blue beauties are so French it almost shouts! Worked in wool on linen, they are remarkably vibrant still, with no evidence of fading of the dyes on the old wool. There is a spot that can be cut away or can be repaired, which is a slit on each to accommodate something on the old settee - an arm, something. The pieces are each about 15" x 10" roughly, and would be fantastic used as panels in a pair of matched accent pillows, down ...

$1,016 USD SaleSALE Antique Georgian Era Silk Embroidery Picture in Gilt Wood Frame, Excellent!
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
I truly love these old painted and embroidered silk on silk needlework tapestries, more for what they represent, perhaps, than even for the item, itself. Perhaps you wonder why there are so few women artists in the museum collections. You must realize that women, for the most part, were not permitted the fine arts of sculpture and painting, and so "womens' art" is to be found in the fine tapestry works, the embroideries, the weavings, the beaded works and clothing. The silk embroideries like ...
$251 USD SaleSALE Antique French Embroidered Victorian Fire Screen PAIR - 2 (Hand Fan Style)
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
A PAIR! Can't seem to get enough of these in, or keep them in supply for all you creative decorator customers of ours - but we're trying! Here's a beauty! An antique hand-held face screen pair - great to use in decorating, flanking a fireplace mantel, perhaps. Popular in the Victorian or Napoleon III era in both England and France, other European Countries and the USA (though most we find have origins in England and France). They were offered to guests and used to shield the face from the harsh ...

Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
Lovely antique Georgian era figural needlepoint tapestry, a smaller work with countryside scene, gent and two dogs displayed in the original birds eye maple frame! Isn't this one cute! Small, the frame is just 10 1/4" x 8 5/8" so you'll not have any difficulty in finding a place on your walls for it :). In fact, I'm sure it'll go directly up in my house until it sells. Superb condition, both the frame and tapestry, as you can see in the images. A delightful decorative piece, one that'll tug on ...
$336 USD SaleSALE BIG Antique Victorian Beadwork Needlepoint Footstool Stool
Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
An oversized round slipper stool, footstool from the early Victorian era, and in such beautiful colors, this one will thrill you every time you see it. Very heavy, owing to the fact that every stitch on this large needlepoint top is done with a single glass bead. Yes, entirely beaded, this one glistens with rich color and vibrant shine. The base is the typical round style, but is overly large based on the vast majority of these we've had in the past or seen. A base of fine old carved hardwood, ...

Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
Fine antique Victorian era 1850-60 figural needlepoint tapestry, an ever popular subject with large, playful King Charles Spaniel and displayed in the original 19" rosewood veneered picture frame! One of two great old Victorian needlepoints that we're listing this week, both featuring a dog and both in the original frames. Great decorative accents of course, the stitching here a bit crude as if a sampler by a needlepoint artist in the making but definitely fun nonetheless. The theme a great and ...

Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
Fabulous antique Victorian era needlepoint tapestry, an amazing figural work with children & two dogs and displayed in a superb hand carved oak Black Forest style frame with ornate reticulated foliage & top bird figure! I really can't tell which I like better, the needlepoint or the frame.. Fortunately we don't have to choose between them, the frame and the needlepoint are gorgeous! Hand carved heavy, solid European oak, very French but with a Black Forest feel in the leaves, vines and bird. The ...

Antiques:Tapestry, Needlepoint, Aubusson
Punchwork, silk and wool embroidery, chenille and all manner of stitchery on silk with hand painted faces, arms & hands, etc., and in the original frame. What a treasure to find! A sampler, likely the work of a young girl or child, meant to teach her all kinds of needlearts and stiches. These early 1800s samplers, worked on silk fabric, survive today as a testamonial to the accepted 'women's arts' of the era, when needlecrafts were about the only arena in which a woman's artistic expertise was ...
