A Scottish Victorian wool and needlework picture of a parrot late 19th / early 20th century

the reverse of the gilt-composition box frame with a paper label printed MRS. RIDDLE / 50 Meadowpark Street ... Stoun / Womens Industries Section Glasgow East End Exhibition

Very decorative. Losses to gilt-gesso box frame. The interior of which would benefit from a clean. The textile itself is stable and colors good, if a little dirty. This lot is generally good considering its age and the materials employed in its construction.
