Antique Dutch Silk Embroidery
This is a charming antique Dutch silk embroidery depicting a young girl carrying pails of water. The embroidery is meticulously detailed, showcasing a pastoral scene with vibrant colours and delicate stitching. The work exemplifies the folk art traditions of 19th-century Holland, likely created as a decorative panel or part of a larger textile piece. The composition and colour palette are typical of the period, reflecting a romanticised view of rural life.
Condition and Collectibility
The embroidery shows signs of age and wear, consistent with its antique status. There may be some fading of the silk and minor losses to the stitching, but overall the piece remains in good condition for its age. This piece would appeal to collectors of antique textiles, folk art, or Dutch history, offering a glimpse into the artistic traditions of the period. It is a unique and beautiful example of needlework art.
