Hand-Embroidery on Linen Antique Textile Wall-Hanging Steuler This is the sort ofThis very finely hand embroidered textile is an example of counted thread embroidery, on linen, with handanger strips (the white cutwork). I am not certain of its origin the palette and design feels rather Scandinavian, but it bears a strong resemblance to many antique Turkish embroidered textiles I have found. Definitely it is antique, I am guessing mid 19th century, and absolutely it was made with great skill. Truly a wonderful thing to live with,
