(Click on smaller images to see enlarged view)
   
An outstanding example of 19th century French needlepoint/petite point on this table
cover stitched in wool and silk threads. Mythical winged lions and angels flitter among
scrolling foliage and acanthus flowers all on a chocolate brown ground. Edged in a
small French metallic trim with leaf motif, backed in gold/beige cotton. Excellent
shading throughout with four pairs each of angels and lions with each being ever so
slightly different in shading and coloring and different expressions on the faces.

Condition: Loss of wool threads mainly to the chocolate ground and several very small
holes in the back lining that is typical of age.
