Hungarian embroidery tapestry, Budapest, 1984

This 1980s Hungarian floral embroidery sits in the longstanding tradition of the region for exuberant and elaborate needlework, often found on the arresting folk or national costume. It is full of colour with bold and bright floral designs, made even more dazzling by the distinctive black background.

Framed and glazed.

41 x 54.5 cm

Fabric swatch: the border is the beautiful Flame Stitch Tree in evergreen / Tuscan pink by Zoffany. We love its hand embroidered tree of life design.
