Beautiful vintage silk embroidery artwork depicting ducks in flight over a marsh, rendered in fine shimmering threads that capture lifelike movement and light. The piece is framed in a solid oak frame with a new acid-free cream mat, replacing the original aged mat to enhance brightness and preserve the textile.

Details:

• Medium: Hand-stitched silk embroidery on fabric

• Subject: Ducks in flight over water with decoys and reeds

• Era: Likely mid-20th century

• Frame: Solid oak, warm honey tone

• Mat: New acid-free cream mat (original aged mat removed due to toning and foxing)

• Overall size: approx. 20” high x 24” wide

• Condition: Very good overall; embroidery remains vibrant, a couple of spots here and there but none that affect the overall appearance. Minor natural age to backing silk. Frame and new mat clean and ready to hang. The frame alone is worth the asking price. It is a high quality all wood vintage piece as well.

Additional note:

The last photo in the listing shows the piece with its original aged mat, included for provenance and transparency only — it has since been professionally rematted for preservation and display.
