This charming framed cross-stitch artwork depicts an idyllic English countryside cottage surrounded by vibrant flower gardens, complete with a stone pathway and a serene forest backdrop. A woman dressed in period-style clothing walks toward the timber-framed house, creating a nostalgic, pastoral mood reminiscent of classic storybooks or Cotswold village scenes.
The needlework appears to be done by hand with fine detail and a balanced color palette, including soft greens, lavender, peach, and golden tones. It is professionally mounted under glass, double-matted with a sage green outer mat and a golden inner liner, which beautifully complements the tones in the embroidery. The piece is enclosed in a rich mahogany-finish wooden frame, fitted with a hanging wire on the back for immediate display.
Likely created in the 1990s or early 2000s, this cross-stitch piece is a lovely example of domestic folk art, perfect for cottagecore, traditional, or country-inspired interiors.
