Vintage hand-made pre-worked center work needlepoint canvas Cluny-style art of "The Lady and the Unicorn" late medieval circa 1500 Middle Ages mythical scene with a noble lady, lion, and unicorn in front of trees, flags, and a pavilion. The ladies, lion, and unicorn are stitched entirely in petit point.

This canvas size is approximately 17 1/2" wide by 21" tall and the pre-worked area is approximately 10 3/4" wide by 13 1/2" high, suitable for a framed picture. The canvas is 100% white cotton 10-count Penelope and the pre-work is 100% wool. 

Pre-work (also called center-work) is when the main design is already stitched and the customer stitches the background in whatever color they want. The pre-work is usually regular gros point needlepoint (10-count stitching) and sometimes includes petit point (20-count stitching) for fine details.

Purchase is for the pre-worked canvas only. The yarn to complete the background is not included. We also sell a variety of yarns to complete this project and we can create a second eBay listing for the yarn. We have Paternayan, Brunswick, and Bucilla 3-strand Persian wool (stitch using either 2 or 3 strands, depending on intended use). We have DMC, Elsa Williams, and Nostra Zephyr (Dutch) tapestry wools. We have DMC Pearl Cotton #3, #5, and 6-strand cotton embroidery floss.
