This is a charming vintage needlepoint piece featuring a sad-eyed basset hound dog. The hand-stitched art depicts a brown and white basset hound sitting in a field of green grass with two pink and blue flowers, with a third smaller flower in front of its nose. The background is a bright yellow. The piece is framed in a simple dark wood or stained frame and is ready to hang.
Details:
• Artwork: Hand-stitched needlepoint / long stitch.
• Subject: Basset Hound dog with sad, "puppy dog eyes," with flowers. The style is reminiscent of 1970s and 1980s craft kits.
• Frame: Simple dark wood or stained frame.
• Approximate Dimensions: 7" x 9" (as indicated on the original tag on the back). The ruler in the photo confirms this.
• Condition Notes: The needlepoint itself is in good vintage condition. The frame shows some signs of age and wear consistent with its vintage nature, including some scuffs and small scratches (as shown in photos). The back has a label from "Harger Photo & Frame Co." and a stock number "10BG-15." The back is secured with small metal tabs and has a string for hanging.
This piece would make a great addition to a dog lover's collection, a vintage art gallery wall, or as a unique accent in a nursery or den.
