ABOUT THE ITEM | ABOUT THE BRAND "Four Wives" was a premier name in 20th-century needlepoint, known for their sophisticated "Classic Printed" series. Unlike basic kits, these canvases allowed the artist to choose their own wools (typically Appleton or Persian yarn), making each finished piece a unique work of art.

CLASSIFICATION & ARCHIVAL HISTORY: This piece represents the height of the 1970s boutique needlepoint craze. During this era, needlepoint moved from a hobby to a high-art form, with brands like Four Wives leading the market in elegant, European-inspired botanical illustrations. The canvas uses a high-quality mono-interlock weave, a hallmark of mid-century textile manufacturing that provides superior tension during the stitching process. Finding these in unworked, pristine condition is increasingly difficult as vintage "stashed" hobby supplies are depleted.
