Vintage Needlepoint Framed Art Windmill Scene Dutch 13" X10.5"
Picture depict condition , nicks in the frame. This framed needlepoint piece is a scenic landscape featuring a large windmill by the water,
The Subject Matter
* Scene: The artwork depicts a traditional rural landscape with a central windmill, a small cottage, and a sailboat on the water.
* Style: This type of "Dutch landscape" was a very popular motif for needlepoint kits during the 1930s and 40s.
Historical Connection
* Framing: The sticker on the back reveals it was framed by Mueller Bros., Inc., a well-known framing business once located at 218 S. Wabash Ave. in Chicago.
* History of the Framer: Mueller Brothers was a prominent Chicago firm; notably, Armand Lee, who later founded a famous framing and restoration company of his own, worked as a salesman there in the 1930s.
* Era: Given the 1934 date on your other piece and the historical records of this framing shop, these were likely created and framed during the mid-1930s.
Care and Condition
The frame itself is a classic "molded" style typical of that period. Because these pieces are nearly a century old, the browning on the fabric is often caused by the original wood or cardboard backing, which is acidic and can damage the textile over time.
