Needlepoint is a type of embroidery in which stitches are sewn through a stiff open weave canvas. Traditionally, needlepoint designs often featured floral arrangements, landscapes, or scenes from everyday life. The craft gained popularity in Europe during the 16th century and became a common pastime for women of the upper and middle classes.

During the Victorian era, needlepoint experienced a resurgence, with intricate patterns and vibrant colors becoming fashionable. Framed needlepoint pieces were often displayed as decorative art in homes, adding a touch of elegance and personal expression. Today, antique needlepoint pieces are valued for their craftsmanship and historical significance, offering a glimpse into the artistic tastes and domestic life of past generations. See less
