HISTORY: Needlepoint and cross-stitch have charmed art lovers for centuries, especially during the Victorian era. These crafts let creators whip up detailed and heartfelt decorations for their homes. Victorian needlepoint often featured sweet scenes, blooming flowers, or charming portraits, capturing the era’s love for romance. Framed and proudly displayed, these works show off the artist’s talent and style. The image of a dashing gentleman offering flowers to a lady perfectly captures the playful dance of courtship. While you might find mass-made versions, it’s the handmade pieces that truly sparkle with skill and soul.
