For sale is a highly unusual folk art picture in the style of
a Renaissance tapestry but done in tiny glass beads glued to the fabric. The framed picture is about 9 5/8 inches wide
by 14 5/8 inches tall; the embroidery itself is about 6 5/8 inches by 11 5/8 inches. The picture has a floral scroll along the
left and bottom edge, and a has a standing angel with a sword on the right. The fabric is fairly coarse, and all of the
decoration is achieved through the application of tiny beads and gold painted
borders. The picture has an old molded
dark wood frame with front glass. It has
a paper back and hanging wire, as well as remnants of an owner’s(?) label. There are no marks or signatures.
Condition on the picture is good. There is some puckering of the fabric, but
there are no holes and the glass beads seem to be intact. A very cool work of art.
