Aadi's petit Anglaise treasures
Antique and vintage French shabby chic treasures.
Sadly my grandmother and aunt both passed away last year. I have
been asked by my family to clear and sell the items as
I already sell things on Ruby Lane.
Both my aunt and Memere lived in rambling big old houses I suppose
some would call them a chateau.
They loved collecting treasures.
So I will be listing lots of items over the next few weeks and months.
I found this amongst my aunts things.
FRENCH ANTIQUE EMBROIDERY PICTURE
 Oh so
From what i gather this picture was made by one of my great great aunts. We found it in the attic with the glass covered in dust and dirt.
Dates arround - 1850's possibly older
This picture is absolutely stunning.
Scrumptious French silk embroidered picture. The picture handworked embroidery is stunning with tiny stitches. It depicts an old monastery or chateau. The embroidery is backed onto cream watered silk which gives it a 2 dimensional quality. The colors are amazingly bright and look to be unfaded considering its age.
It has been framed in a antique gresso gold painted frame. I am unsure if this is its original frame but it looks as if it might be.
MEASURES - 11 5/8 x 12 3/8 picture size INCHEs
frame size 17 4/8 x 15 inches
CONDITION - The silk embroidered picture is in very good condition with very little fading. It dose have a stain or two on the watered silk background. No holes or tears to the picture as far as i can see. However i feel it needs to be carefully removed from the frame so the glass inside can be cleaned properly as dust and dirt has got behind the glass. The frame has a ding or two but that could be very easily hidden with gold paint. The back of the frame could do with the paper sealing redone as it is peeling off.
IF YOU LIKE SHABBY CHIC YOU WILL LIKE THIS BUT IF YOU PREFER NEW PRESTINE THINGS YOU WILL NOT LIKE IT.

accept cheque payments.
I ship from both the Uk and France as I have family in both places and often flit between the two a lot. I do this to ensure that my customers get the best shipping rates.
I do not make money on postage and packaging costs and am happy to combine shipping at the actual shipping and packaging rate.
I send most items insured signed for delivery with a tracking number. I always have proof of shipment.
Shipping times for my USA customers: This varies greatly most items will arrive within 10 days however some items do get delayed by USA customs. This is completely beyond my control . However I will always be happy to help you track your item.
I ship items within 2 working days of payment.
JE SUIS DÉSOLÉ - I do not ship on Wednesdays or Saturdays as the post offices I use are only open half day on these days and my maîtresse de poteau gets stressed out if i come in with a load of packages on these days. Beleive me she is very fierce and not a lady to upset. I must confess I am a little scared of her.
