Folk Art Wool Appliqué and Embroidery Wall Hanging
This rectangular folk art piece is a mixed-media textile composition set within a primitive-style black wooden frame. The central artwork is constructed on a deep burgundy felt or boiled wool background. It features two stylized sheep with cream-colored, textured fuzzy bodies and black felt legs and faces. They are positioned facing each other, connected by a thin black stitched line that supports a central yellow felt star. Overhanging the sheep is an embroidered willow tree design executed in thin brown thread for the branches and green satin stitch for the leaves. At the bottom, a strip of tan fabric with a checked pattern is appliquéd using cross-stitches, featuring the hand-embroidered religious script: 'The Lord is my Shepherd, I Shall not want...'. The banner is flanked by four small brown felt stars. The wooden frame exhibits a distressed finish with visible wood grain and slight wear on the edges, consistent with a modern primitive or 'shabby chic' aesthetic rather than true antiquity. The overall craftsmanship suggests a contemporary handcrafted item made in the folk art tradition, likely dating from the early 21st century. Condition appears good with minor lint on the felt and some natural distressing on the frame.
