About the Item
British Sailor's Woolwork,
Signed W. Kingston,
Circa 1870
The charming and unusual sailor's woolwork, known as woolies, is within a maple frame, and depicts a portside view of a three-masted English merchant ship under full sail with white top waves visible on the gray-blue sea, all within a porthole roundel view. The porthole in red and decorated with wheat with a rose to the top and bottom. The picture with a large flower on stem in each corner. Below, in a band in a red thread, is the name of the maker, proudly displayed in large letters,
"W. KINGSTON".
Everything about this wool is charming and a little unusual from the format to the shape. A very lovely wool.
