Needlepoint
A long narrow runner with an ivory ground scattered with an all-over pattern of large stylized blossoms, feathery acanthus leaves, and curling stems rendered in gold, rose, sage green, and slate blue. A slender guard stripe of small floral rosettes frames the field, followed by a broad olive-green border woven with a continuous chain of tulip-like buds and leaves in the same palette. The corners of the border resolve without a cartouche or medallion, leaving the field open and continuous along its length.
