Susan Pendleton's 1906 Gray Cat on Pink Cushion Needlepoint

Regular price $80.00

Deep love at first sight with this one--for me this resting but watchful cat has the presence of a lion in wait, and reminds me in manner of the menagerie of animals scattered around Medieval tapestries. And then hand-written on the backside: "Susan Pendleton / Given to Olive / 1906 / on a Tuesday." ! 

11 1/4" x 8 3/4" framed, as found. Good condition, with not a missing stitch that I can see. There is a little minor rippling of the needlepoint overall, not noticeable when hung on the wall, and which I'd think could be eliminated through reframing if desired. There is some glare captured in photos.
