Antique French Berlin Wool Work Embroidery of the Madonna and Child in Original Gilt Frame | Circa 1860–1875

A beautifully preserved 19th century French Berlin wool work embroidery depicting the Madonna and Child accompanied by a winged cherub. Hand stitched in richly colored wool on fine linen canvas and presented in its original gilt wood frame with its untouched paper backing and handwritten inscription on the reverse, this devotional work exemplifies the craftsmanship and artistry of Victorian era needlework. Gentle age appropriate wear to the frame, light fading to the embroidery, and a beautifully timeworn patina enhance its authentic character, making it a timeless addition to a thoughtfully collected home.
