Lot 13: An Antique 1910s Pheasant Needlepoint Embroidered Framed Art

An antique 1910s needlepoint embroidered framed art, possibly functioning as a decorative screen or firescreen. The piece features textile embroidery, likely with wool or cotton threads, set within a dark brown wooden frame. It is supported by two brass feet, with a matching brass handle on the top. The needlework depicts a central stylized tree or floral motif in a palette of greens, blues, pinks, yellows, and browns, surrounded by various animals including a large bird, consistent with a pheasant, butterflies, a winged mythical creature resembling a griffin, and a lion. The embroidery is executed in a traditional or folk art-inspired style. A small white sticker visible in the upper left corner of the needlework bears the marking “£/82,” translating to Eighty-two Pounds (likely a price) or an inventory number.
