This vintage needlepoint tapestry showcases a beautifully executed, hand-stitched portrait of a weathered mariner or old sea captain gazing into the distance. Measuring 49.5cm x 60cm within its frame, the textile artwork uses a sophisticated palette of muted earth tones, blues, and greys to depict the sailor wearing a traditional rain hat, blue neckerchief, and smoking a classic tobacco pipe. The artwork is beautifully presented in a substantial, heavily ornate gold-gilded wooden frame featuring intricate baroque-style scrolling leaf and floral relief borders.
