Silk Threads, Glass Beads and Cotton
Size : H 25.5" / W 20.5"
This 19th-century Victorian petit point screen showcases the fine needlework and decorative sensibility of the era. Composed of thousands of tiny glass beads, it likely served both as a privacy screen and a shield from firelight in domestic interiors. Its intricate floral and figurative motifs reflect the period’s fascination with nature and narrative, while also speaking to the quiet skill of women’s needlework at the time. A rare survivor, it stands as both a historical artifact and a testament to enduring craftsmanship.
