Subject:Asian Needlepoint
Posted By: Chris Mon, Jul 07, 2008 IP: 99.12.240.182
Mr Lee,
Do you have any info on this needlepoint? I have absolutely no clue about it other than how beautiful it looks.
Thanks for your time,
Chris

Chris,

Cannot tell from photo if embroidered or woven.

Not 'needlepoint', term for European or USA embroidery on canvas.

Is decorator/tourist piece, bright aniline-dye thread, IMHO not older than 1920s, possibly 1960s or later.

Pictures of 'beauties' generic made in up to millions various ways.

Good luck,
Cal
