And when Anna passed, she inherited all her belongings.
And she was looking through a linen box one day, and she found this.
So she unfolded it and then she put it behind glass, tracing back the family ancestry.
They came from England, and then they settled in Delaware.
And I believe it was Maryland and Delaware.
APPRAISER: Okay.
So that's, that's a lovely way to acquire an object, isn't it?
GUEST: Yes.
(chuckles) APPRAISER: That may be one reason why we're looking at a needlework which has survived in remarkably good condition.
Needleworks are such that they use vegetable dyes, and as a result, the colors are fugitive.
They're subject to fading, damage from moisture, insect damage.
There are a lot of things that would put them in peril.
Compositionally, it's very beautiful.
This girl, who made this in school, under the guidance of a teacher, had a talent, and I daresay that she probably had a very good teacher, as well.
The inclusion of some of the these wonderful decorative devices-- the butterflies, these grapes and meandering vines with flowers, the rabbits on that sort of grassy knoll all combine to make a compellingly beautiful needlework.
Now, you told me you had it conserved-- I assume that it's acid-free, uh, cardboard next to the piece, the mat and that sort of thing.
GUEST: Oh, yes.
Museum glass.
APPRAISER: Which would prevent it f... APPRAISER: Perfect.
That's why this piece is not toned or turned yellow, because it apparently wasn't in a frame backed with wood next to the linen.
The results can be disastrous.
GUEST: Oh, I'm sure.
APPRAISER: This escaped all that, it's terrific.
(both laugh) I'll call it a number nine, so that's pretty good.
GUEST: Oo!
(laughs) APPRAISER: And I think as far as, uh, value is concerned, certainly in an auction situation, I think that it would be estimated probably in the area of, let's say, $20,000 to $30,000.
GUEST: Wow.
(laughs) APPRAISER: That's how good it is.
GUEST: Wow, that's nice.
