Framed Needlepoint Tapestry of Village Rooftop Scene

This item is a framed needlepoint tapestry depicting a picturesque village rooftop scene. The needlepoint features a muted color palette dominated by various shades of brown, beige, and tan for the tiled rooftops, with accents of light blue/grey for distant buildings, touches of green for foliage, and splashes of red, yellow, and black for what appear to be birds or perhaps decorative elements on the foreground roof. The stitching appears to be a consistent tent stitch, indicating careful craftsmanship, although the resolution makes it difficult to discern individual stitch quality with absolute certainty. The overall impression is one of handmade textile art. The tapestry is housed within a substantial wooden frame, possibly gilded or finished with a brass/gold tone, featuring ornate, raised scrollwork and leaf motifs along its inner and outer edges. The frame itself exhibits a traditional or somewhat classical style, suggesting an age consistent with mid-20th century or later decorative arts. There are no immediate visible signs of significant damage to the needlepoint itself, such as tears, loose threads, or major stains, though some dust accumulation or subtle fading might be present given its age. The frame shows some minor wear consistent with handling and display, particularly along its edges and raised ornamentation, visible as subtle scuffs or loss of finish. There are no discernible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps visible in the provided image. The overall condition appears to be good vintage, with the potential for minor surface cleaning. The piece likely served as a decorative wall hanging in a domestic setting.
