Artwork Details
  • Medium: The piece uses crewel embroidery, a type of surface embroidery that typically uses wool yarn on a linen or cotton fabric base.
  • Design: The embroidery depicts a vibrant floral arrangement that includes pink roses, blue and purple smaller flowers (possibly pansies or violets), and various green leaves and stems. The bouquet is encircled by a blue ribbon and bow motif stitched into the fabric. The initialism "AF" is visible in the bottom right of the stitching.
  • Style: The piece has a vintage, possibly mid-20th century aesthetic, common in needlecraft kits of that era.
  • Frame: The textile is housed in a rectangular, vintage-style frame with an antique or brushed gold finish and decorative carved details on the corners and edges. 

Identification
The design is very similar to the "Roses & Morning Glories" or "Roses Florals" crewel embroidery kits produced by the well-known American needlecraft designer Elsa Williams
