Silk Embroidery of Flowers in a Delft Vase,

A praiseworthy silk embroidered picture, this depicts a fine two-handled blue and white Delft vase with a wonderful assortment of highly detailed flowers springing from it. This vase, along with a pair of flowering plants, are grounded on hillocks worked in varying shades of green with strawberry plants with fat seeded berries sprouting from it. A little flying moth or butterfly finishes the picture. Overall, the composition and execution are highly appealing. 

This was worked in silk on silk and is in excellent condition with some very slight abrasion to the upper right area. It has been conservation mounted into a 19th century gold leaf frame.
