This Mid-Century Modern crewel embroidery is a classic example of 1960s–70s fiber art.
Art Form: Crewel Work. This technique uses wool yarn on a linen or cotton backing, allowing for the heavy, textured "relief" style seen in the fruit.
Dimensions: 21" x 18", making it a substantial horizontal or "landscape" orientation piece for a dining room or entryway.
Frame: Typically features a dark stained wood frame with "Mid-Century" clean lines or slight scalloping, common for professionally framed needlework of that era.
Symbolism: The "Horn of Plenty" is a traditional symbol of abundance and hospitality, often used as year-round decor but especially popular during the autumn season
