ANTIQUE Tramp Art Carved Frame Poinsettia Needlepoint Victorian Folk Art Wood

  
This is a beautiful and unique antique framed piece, dating likely to the late 19th or early 20th century. The frame itself is an excellent example of Tramp Art, characterized by its multi-layered, notched, and carved construction, typically using simple materials like cigar boxes or scrap wood. Style: Tramp Art / Folk Art.

Material: Wood (appears to be a darker stained hardwood). Construction: The corners feature an interlocking, stacked cross-bar design. The vertical and horizontal rails extend beyond the corners.

Decoration: Each of the four corners is adorned with an elaborately carved leaf motif (possibly oak or maple leaves, adding a naturalistic touch). The main vertical frame members are fluted or reeded, giving them a rich texture. Inner Liner: The needlepoint is set within a simple, narrow gilded (gold-colored) liner, which contrasts nicely with the dark wood of the outer frame. Backing: The back is simple with a natural wood finish and includes eyelets with an old hanging wire/string. Subject: A bright, richly colored Poinsettia flower (a popular Christmas and holiday symbol).

Medium: Needlepoint / Embroidery on a natural, homespun linen or burlap-like fabric background. Condition: The embroidery is in good condition for its age, retaining vibrant colors. Condition - Please Read Carefully. Antique/Used: This item is an antique and shows signs of age consistent with its history. Frame Wear: There are natural nicks, scuffs, and chips to the wood, particularly on the edges and corners of the leaf carvings and cross-bars, which is typical for Tramp Art.

The dark stain shows wear in areas, revealing the lighter wood beneath. Inner Liner: The gold finish on the inner liner shows tarnishing and minor loss. Backing: The wood backing is stained and aged. Overall: The piece is structurally sound and presents wonderfully, with the wear adding to its authentic, rustic, and antique charm.
