Needlepoint Pink Rose Artwork in Gilt Frame

This item is a small framed needlepoint artwork featuring a single pink rose with greenery and rosebuds set against a cream background. The needlepoint itself is executed using small stitches, likely petit point or a fine canvas work, showcasing a detailed floral motif. The frame is rectangular with a square aperture, constructed of wood and appears to have a faux wood grain finish in a dark brown color. It is edged with an applied decorative molding in a metallic gold tone, featuring scrolled acanthus leaf or floral-inspired elements at each corner. The overall style of the frame suggests a Victorian or similar antique aesthetic, though its material and construction may indicate a later reproduction. The piece is presented behind glass. Visible condition appears good with no obvious tears or significant wear to the needlepoint. The frame shows some minor surface wear and potential loss of some of the gold finish on the raised decorative elements, consistent with age and handling. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the image. The context provided 'G.R. Stracha, Fort William' may indicate the artist, framer, or location of origin, but this is not overtly visible on the item itself. The craftsmanship of the needlepoint appears relatively fine, allowing for a detailed representation of the rose. The framing seems functional and provides a suitable presentation for the artwork. The piece has a charming, diminutive size suitable for display on a small easel, shelf, or as part of a larger arrangement. The style is classic and enduring, fitting into various decor styles, particularly those with a vintage or floral theme.
