Antique Silk Embroidery with Cross & Flowers
Couldn't load pickup availability
Gorgeous, turn of the century antique vernacular embroidery of a cross with flowers on cream silk. Presented as found in its original gilded frame measuring 16” tall. Condition is good overall with some tiny age spots near the edges of the frame. The gesso is chipped in places. There is what looks like a pencil line drawn across the bottom- The maker probably intended their design to go in a smaller frame, but ended up embroidering outside the margins. They left it as is. This is a vernacular work, done by an ordinary person, therefore it’s not perfect. Very often these kinds of works were done by cloistered nuns and monks to raise money for their organizations.

Shipping Information
RETURN POLICY
- All sales are FINAL. I strive to provide clear photos & accurate information for every item, & to anticipate any questions you may have. It is the buyer's responsibility to examine these photos clearly & read the description in full before purchasing. If you have any other questions or require further views, you've only to ask.
- No cancellations.
SHIPPING
- Orders ship once a week. If you need something by a certain date, please let me know before purchasing. I am almost always able to accommodate requests.
Insurance is automatically added to every order for a very small fee, via the service Route. You can waive this insurance by ticking the box at checkout, but if you choose to do so, I cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen packages. I STRONGLY recommend using the Route service: UPS & USPS are notorious for denying claims, especially if a package is lost or stolen rather than broken. Route only requires you to fill out an online form & they pay out immediately without fuss. I make no money on any insurance premiums collected- The service is provided only for your benefit.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
- We are happy to ship worldwide once again! Be advised that there's no way for us to know on our end what your customs fees, if any, might be: Shopify doesn't calculate or charge international buyers for customs fees at checkout. Customers are responsible for being aware of and paying any necessary customs fees your country may charge. I am not responsible for packages abandoned at the post office due to unpaid fees.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
- I do not do "holds," reserves, or payment plans. However, if you need help with financing, many safe & easy options are available to you at checkout, including Shop Pay.
