Antique Sacred Heart EmbroideryExquisite, early to mid century antique sacred heart embroidery. Crafts like these are made by nuns to support their convents. Presented its original mat and frame, newly backed & wired up by someone other than me. Refer to photos for size and condition.

The leaves are made from very unusual black paper embossed with a chinoiserie-style design

Sold at a low price

The box is in good condition with original green paint
