About the Item
The pair of large Sailor's woolwork pictures are within maple frames and a gilt inner border with a sand colored mat. These are known as woolies.

On the outside is the United States flag depicted in blue and white below which is an unidentified British flag, the Turkish flag and the White Ensign. On the inside is the Union Jack, an unidentified foreign flag with green and white stripes, the French flag and the White Ensign. Above is the royal crown and a stem of a rose and one of a thistle.
