A stunning, large-scale original 1970s vintage Erica Wilson crewel embroidery textile artwork titled "Birch Trees and Canada Geese." Designed by the legendary needlework master Erica Wilson, this spectacular piece is beautifully executed with rich wool yarn on a textured linen background. The intricate design features a dynamic forest of white birch trees with detailed black bark knots, a foreground of rust-colored brambles, and three Canada geese flying against a multi-toned blue horizon.
The craftsmanship is superb, demonstrating an array of traditional long-and-short stitches, French knots, and textured relief work. The textile has been professionally stretched and mounted flat, sealed with dust-cover backing paper, and housed inside a custom mid-century wood frame with an elegant gold-leaf rope fillet border. Equipped with a heavy-duty rear hanging wire, it is ready to anchor a mid-century modern, cabin/lodge, or traditional gallery wall.
