Hello, I just listed this lovely picture on my Etsy store:The question is, when do you think it was made?
I was attracted to it because of it’s 1940s feel, southwestern imagery. I have a line of Homer Laughlin tableware from the late 30s that is called “Hacienda” which has similiar colors, similar subject matter:It’s pretty, isn’t it?
Anyway, I bought this needlepoint because it looked kinda 1940’s, but then I focused on the mat board which has a 1980’s quality to it. The frame is very nondescript, it doesn’t shout any particular time to me. It is wood, and very narrow. It is a little dirty, dirty that light cleaning could not clean up, but not banged up.
So what do you think? When was this made?
In the sixties?
Yes, it could be the sixties. I just can’t say for certain!
