Description

This is a lovely 19th Century Sailor's Woolwork.

The work depicts a three masted, square rigged gun ship in full sail, with the white ensign of the Royal Navy flying astern.
Along the horizon, is a promontory of land and lighthouse, shining out.

The frame is oak, and missing its glass. The reverse of the frame retains it original paper backing.


Date19th Century DimensionsFrame approx: 52cm wide x 44 cm high ConditionThere is a slight darkening of the wool to the top right of the image. The glass is missing, and I think when this broke, a few strands of wool were cut (please see pictures). Wear to frame is commensurate with age.
