If you’re a collector of textiles, you’ll love this! This is a beautiful antique needlepoint measuring 29” h x 25” w. This is first quality needlework in handsome reds, browns, ochre, blue, and cream. Our home is smoke-free and it has not been in direct light. It has been on our living room wall, but would be lovely hanging in any location in your home. Or, you could remove it from the frame and make a pillow out of it. Look at this comparable c1850 needlework on eBay priced at $550! Our asking price of $85 is a real bargain! It’s in the original or an old frame with this handwritten inscription written on the back:
Made by Julia H. Pratt, daughter of Zadoc Pratt of Prattsville, NY, about 1850. Julia Pratt married Colin Macrae Ingersoll of New Haven, Conn. Children: Mary E., Colin Macrae, and George Pratt.
