19th Century Sailor's Woolie of the Ship-Sloop "Coquette"
About the Item
19th Century Sailor's Woolie of the Ship-Sloop "Coquette," circa 1880, a handcrafted sailor's woolwork picture depicting a larboard side view of a steam-sailor at anchor, fully dressed with array of signal flags and white ensigns, with banner below inscribed "Coquette." Oddly, the ship is under only partial standing rigging with no yardarms or gaffs present, and there are two men rowing a boat alongside in foreground. Mounted in it's original burl veneered frame.
The HMS Coquette was an Ariel Class Ship-Sloop, or gunboat, in service from 1871 to 1890.
The woolie remains in very good condition with bright colors on soft, subtle background. The frame has the expected nicks and losses.

- British Sailor's Woolwork or Woolie of the Named Barque "Polly"Located in Downingtown, PALarge British Sailor's Woolwork of the Barque Polly, Named "Polly", Circa 1885-95 A large sailor's woolie or woolwork of a port side view of a ship named "Polly" under full sail. The ship is rigged as a barque. The name "Polly" can be seen on a banner flying from the mainmast and on the front of the bow and the shiop was named after the owner's wife Marian Poyy Woodside. (see below). The sails are trapunto, creating a three-dimensional look of the sails full of wind. The sea is depicted is rippling bands of green and white. Dimensions: Frame: 26 1/4 inches high x 31 inches wide x 2 inches Reference: The ship was built in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1885, and launched by Marian "Polly" Woodside, the wife of the owner, tossing flowers across the bow. (Champagne being too precious). The ship made several voyages primarily between South America and the UK before being repositioned in the Pacific. A barque has three or four masts. The fore and mainmast are square-rigged, and the mizzen fore-and-aft, usually gaff-rigged. Carries a mainsail on each mast, but the mainsail shape differs per mast (square or gaff). Barques were built with up to five masts. Four-masted barques were quite common. Barques were a good alternative to full-rigged ships because they require a lot fewer sailors. But they were also slower. Very popular rig for ocean crossings, so a great rig for merchants who travel long distances and don't want 30 - 50 sailors to run their ship. A label on the reverse states that the wool was on The Antiques Road...Category
