Mid century French needlepoint in gilt Baroque frame
A coastal scene rendered in wool, carrying the rhythm and colour of European storytelling.
Hand stitched on a Diamant canvas in France, this mid century needlepoint draws from 19th century maritime paintings, capturing a working shore with men hauling a boat against rising water, cliffs folded into the distance, a dog keeping to the rocks. The palette shifts softly across the canvas, stitched in wool with the tonal blending typical of printed French patterns, holding both craft and narrative. Set within its original gilt Baroque revival frame, the scrolling relief and muted gold finish temper the energy of the scene, grounding the work in the decorative language of the period, carrying a presence shaped by the domestic interiors it once lived in.
Measures: 114 cm W × 55 cm H × 5 cm D
