This listing is for a pair of Victorian tapestry slipper fronts - the work is finely executed by hand and completed.
Currently framed with glass - photographs were affected by reflection from glass and do not do justice to the slippers.
The tapestry features many stamps of Queen Victoria, a spray of forget-me-not flowers, an envelope stamped London N1
and also a quill pen - fine steel beads are used for the nib.
Letter writing in Victorian times was an important part of life and is depicted on this fine tapestry.
The tapestry is in a frame with glass - the glass will be removed for posting for safety reasons
It was professionally framed - there is a dent to one edge of the frame (last photo)
I'm happy to post tapestry without glass or frame - please let ke know if you prefer this option as I update postage option on listing to Royal Mail.
Frame measures 70.5cm wide X 51.5cm so too large for Royal Mail - Evri delivery due to size
