Today's Designs...Yesterday's Treasures

I will be sharing photos of examples here at Pickwick Antiques. This picture is an example of both needlepoint and petit point(sometimes spelled ..petite point). The term "petit point" literally means...small point.


Although the terms, needlepoint and petit point are interchangeable, they are, in fat, very different. Petit point is comprised of small, fine stitches and is often stitched in single threads of "Penelope" canvas...or fine needlepoint canvas. Congress cloth is also used as well in this process.

This photo is the central motif on a beautiful needlepoint Queen Anne style walnut chair...Beautiful craftsmanship.

Remember..as Always...Design is in the Details!
