Product description

Framed glazed needlepoint portrait of a bearded fisherman — a strong, characterful head-and-shoulders design worked in cross-stitch tones of blue, pink and tan and mounted under intact front glass. The piece sits in a gilt-effect wooden frame with decorative beading and presents well from a distance; the back bears a handwritten notation ‘Nr 1607’.

This is a ready-to-hang decorative artwork that will suit coastal, country or vintage-style interiors, a nautical-themed room or a collector of hand-stitched textiles. It works as an affordable feature for a hallway, study or cottage rental and also appeals to a restorer or framer who prefers to refresh vintage frames and backing.

  • Includes: single framed glazed needlepoint portrait, backing board and fixed hanging wire.
  • Condition: needlepoint panel appears intact with no visible holes or missing stitching when viewed through the glass; frame shows surface wear and minor chips; backing paper/board is secure but shows edge staining.
  • Measurements: framed outer dimensions 28 x 35 x 2 cm (H x W x D).
  • Working status: Not applicable (decorative textile under glass).
  • Known faults: scuffs/chips to frame finish, water staining/discolouration to backing edges, rusty/aged hanging wire, some surface dust/hair visible under the glass.
