Victorian Beaded Beadwork For Tea Tray - Perfect For Pillow Centerpiece

Antiques : Textiles, Linens : Needlepoint : Beaded

 

This is a gorgeous Victorian beadwork panel that was originally intended for use in a tea tray. It is entirely beaded in turquoise blue, white, clear, frosted clear, black, and gray glass beads. There is no needlepoint.

This would make a fabulous centerpiece for a pillow!

It measures 19-1/2” x 10”.

There are a few beads missing and a couple of small holes, the braided border is loose and soiled, there appear to have been some old repairs, some discoloration (dark spots and an area that is faintly green from something fading on it) and patch pieces on the back. The fabric is not rotten. Non-smoking home. No funky smells.
