Description
Item Overview
- Medium: Cross-stitch embroidery on linen or Aida cloth, featuring a physical wedding invitation mounted in the center.
- Details: The invitation is for the wedding of Joy Darlene (daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.E. “Eddie” Necessary) to Jack Robert Thacker, Jr. It took place on Saturday, June 23, 1990, at North Bristol Baptist Church in Bristol, Virginia.
Artistry: The floral border is a classic cross-stitch pattern, and the invitation is accented with a lace trim and a small satin ribbon bow.
- Staining: There is a visible circular “tide mark” or water stain on the right side of the fabric near the blue flower. This often happens due to moisture getting trapped behind the glass or acidic backing leaching into the fabric over time.
Framing: It appears to be in a standard mid-range wooden frame. If the backing is original (likely cardboard), it is likely non-archival, which contributes to the yellowing/staining of the fabric.
*Values are driven mostly by the “shabby chic” or “cottagecore” aesthetic of the frame and the needlework.
