French petit point artwork is a form of embroidery that originated in France during the 17th century. It involves creating intricate designs on a fine canvas or fabric using small, precise stitches. Petit point typically uses a single stitch, similar to a half-cross stitch, which results in a detailed and finely textured surface. This rare sweet pair of oiseaux are housed in matching french Louis XVI brass bow frames which are works on art in and of themselves. Sourced from an estate in Barjac. Sold as a pair. dimensions: 4.25"W x 6.25"H x 3"D Show more
