Late 1700s to early 1800s, British Georgian era silk embroidery on silk, likely a sampler creation by a young girl, probably the self-portrait of her also in her work within the delicate oval of floral garland. The delicate needlework is framed within what seems original to it, fits it perfectly in size and era, even though the paper backing and label indicate it has been opened and possibly cleaned (glass) and resealed at some point in early 1900s at a location in Edinburgh, Scotland. Full measurements noted on photos.

Very good to excellent condition for age and type. A panel not much tattered by age, which is most often not the case. You can see a little wave to the stretched silk, however, meaning it might benefit from being opened and a few additional string-stretch stitches taken top to bottom. The silk will be stretched in that way over a card or perhaps a wooden oval. The frame is gorgeous, period, all appears original to this tapestry. Very nicely preserved frame, with a notation to look closely at small imperfection in the ornamentation at bottom. Displays beautifully!
