Lot 37 , A late 17th century silk and bead work arched panel, width 22.5in. height 11.75in.

A late 17th century silk and bead work arched panel, with central tree, birds, butterflies, exotic looking flowers and rabbits, width 22.5in. height 11.75in.
Estimate £200-300

The ground silk is now stained and faded, a fine joint has been made to each side to expand the width of the panel which looks to have been original, otherwise some of the beadwork is missing notably some upper branches of the tree, smaller tree to the left of the main stem, and other scattered areas, housed under glass in an old walnut frame that looks to date to c.1900
