About the Item
Pair of English 18th Century Blackwork on Silk Embroideries
Pair of rare late 18th century black silk embroideries on a cream silk ground picture idyllic pastoral scenes. Blackwork is a monochromatic style of embroidery, originated in Tudor period England. Exquisite silkwork embroideries were popular in the late 18th and early 19th century and are now considered the highest quality needlework art of the period. This style of blackwork imitates etchings or woodcuts. The iron based thread’s black color was corrosive and over time has faded to a pale sepia brown color. There is some age toning to the silk. The embroideries have some small age related tear lines in the silk material. The blackwork is beautifully matted and framed with partly gilded wooden frames with protective glass. Each is titled SUMMER and WINTER.

Jean Antoine Watteau, Circle of, 18th Century Large Old Master Painting, France
By Jean-Antoine Watteau
Located in Vero Beach, FL
Jean Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) circle of. 18th century old master painting, France.
With great pride we offer an extremely rare masterpiece from the 18th century, France. This painting is unsigned as most of his works. It has no provenance, but carries with it all the earmarks of the great Rococo style school of Watteau. It pictures one of his famous outdoor parties with a group of frolicking young people. In the background is a reference to a swing, a favored subject in his paintings. The composition of the painting, colors, brushstrokes (especially in the fabric) is clearly Watteau’s studio. This large 18th century canvas...
