Question

Fox Hunt
Hi I have this old picture of a fox hunt that i believe is needlepoint. I am not sure of who designed it or of the region that it came from I was wondering if you could tell me more about if it needlepoint or where i can find info on it.

Thank you so much for your time

Answer
Megan,

There is not enough detail in the photo to tell if it is needlepoint. I would have to see a close-up, or macro, photo in order to give you a definite answer.  Almost any decent antique dealer, or experienced stitcher, would be able to confirm upon close up inspection.

As for more information about the designer or region, I recommend that you contact The American Needlepoint Guild:

www.needlepoint.org

They might be able to connect you with someone who can determine that information for you.

Hope this helps,
