During the 18th century in England and America many women embellished their bed hangings and bed spreads with woolen crewel embroidery. This amazing woolen piece is embellished with exact replicas of that work. It is signed and dated. This crewel embroidered piece was created with a center medallion format and encompasses much symbolism from the 18th century. Originally made as a pillow cover however never used I have now closed the open seam ( used to insert a pillow ) and sewn two sleeves on for hanging purpose. Enjoyed it in my home for two years, now ready for a new home. Dated 1900 and signed C.S. Stadler. This originated in Pennsylvania, possibly in the Lancaster County area. An amazing piece of art for your wall in original condition, ready to be sent on approval.
