Floral Wall Hangings Appraisal

Pair of Mid-Century Crewel Embroidery Floral Wall Hangings

This is a coordinated pair of vintage crewel embroidery artworks, likely dating from the 1960s or 1970s. Each piece features a stylized botanical arrangement of wildflowers and leaves, executed in wool yarn on a heavy cream-colored linen or canvas-like backing. The color palette across both works is consistent, utilizing various shades of forest green, olive, mustard yellow, and light blue. The needlework techniques include satin stitches for the leaves and flower petals, along with stem or chain stitches for the stalks. The pieces display excellent textural relief, a hallmark of mid-century hand-crewel work. Both embroideries are housed in matching thin, gold-toned metallic or painted wooden frames with ornate raised molding patterns. The condition appears very good with no visible moth damage, staining, or thread pulling. The fabrics are stretched taut and show minimal sagging. There are no visible maker's marks, suggesting they may have been completed from high-quality commercial kits which were popular for home decor during this era. The craftsmanship is precise, showing even tension and well-defined floral shapes.
