Jacobean style Arts And Crafts crewel work Antique Embroidered curtain

  
Jacobean style Arts And Crafts crewel work Antique Embroidered curtain. This large curtain has vibrant wool embroidery in a tree of life design. A sinuous vine with fantastical leaves and flowers rises from grassy tufts.

Flowers, acorns and berries sprout in mad profusion. I can see thistles, shamrock, and oak, so I wonder if this is significant for the British Isles, but no daffodils for Wales! It is in good vintage condition for its age, but has various issues which are shown in the photos. One side edge has been taken back to the design, and the other side is a little thin in places due to light damage. Taking the sides in a couple of inches will sort this out.

There are also various marks, also shown, and some other thin places. The worst is about 1.5 inches, and you can see it in pic 5. However, none of these blemishes are detracting from the overall appearance. This is a fabulous and rare piece, and looks great against oak panelling. Size is 76 inches by 44 inches.
