Woman's Work specialises in early 19th century silkwork pictures. These were traditionally a pastime for young girls and the quality of sewing was extremely high. Many of them were worked from patterns drawn on the background cloth with hands and faces painted in watercolour. However it is also possible to come across pieces of a more naive and individual nature which used appliqued felt or other material to build pictures.
Besides the needlework pictures, we sell 19th century oil paintings and watercolours; old toys and teawares.
We hope you enjoy looking at the site and return to visit us often.
