Lovely Large Handmade 1960’s Vintage Embroidery of People of Different Cultures and Map of the World
A striking and unusual large vintage handmade embroidery, dating to around the 1960s, featuring a stylised map of the world surrounded by expressive portraits of people from different cultures and regions.
The central panel depicts a textured world map, stitched in earthy ochres, blues, creams and browns, with continents clearly defined against the oceans. Surrounding the map is a border of embroidered human faces, each individually worked with strong character and expression, suggesting a celebration of global diversity and shared humanity.
The embroidery is executed in a naïve / folk art style, with visible stitchwork and a beautifully tactile surface. It is mounted in a simple painted wooden frame, which complements the piece without overpowering it. The scale makes it a real statement artwork, ideal for a large wall, studio, or eclectic interior.
Looks to be in its original mid century frame which measures approx 86cm x 85cm and is unglazed
