No Crown in Heaven, 19th C. Gold Beaded Punch Paper Embroidery on SIlk Ribbon

Regular price $45.00

I've only seen a few, but have a special love for punch paper embroideries done with gold beads, especially appropriate here for delivering a holy message and depicting cross and crown! With a satisfying sort of rebus aspect to the use of the icons, and excellent lettering above, below, and in between. As I've often said, I'm not the least bit religious, but I have a penchant for the formal expressions of religiosity, and really love the very unequivocal if-then declaration delivered here with golden sparkle! 

12" long including ribbon; embroidery itself 5 1/2" x 2 3/4". Very good condition.
