Vintage Mid Century Framed Needlepoint Wall Art Blue Parakeet Birds On A Branch

A sweet piece of handworked textile art featuring a pair of blue birds perched among leafy green branches. The needlepoint is worked against a warm cream ground and presented in an ornate antiqued gold-tone frame, giving the piece a wonderfully traditional, slightly romantic character. The reverse is handwritten “Made by Anna Martha Powell” and retains a Bradford Gallery framing label from Austin, Texas. Condition Good vintage condition with age-related wear. Needlework presents nicely with no major damage noted to the visible front, though it has yellowed with age. Frame has chips on the corner and to a few of the rises along the raised moulding. Paper backing is stained, torn, and partially separated along the upper portion and edges. Hanging wire remains attached. Please review photos closely for condition details. Measurements Height: 13 Width: 10 Depth: 1.5 Material Needlepoint / Embroidered Textile Wood / Composite Frame Paper Backing Origin Needlework attributed by handwritten inscription to Anna Martha Powell Framed by Bradford Gallery, Austin, Texas, USA Styling Notes Perfect for a vintage gallery wall, cottage-inspired interior, or a collected arrangement of botanical and avian artwork. The muted blue and green stitching paired with the aged gilded frame has an especially lovely old-world feel. A unique find and purr-fectly peculiar.
