Vintage Old World Santa Needlepoint Stocking. Measures 20". Good condition. It's a little wrinkled.
This twenty-inch needlepoint stocking is a classic example of "found-history" holiday decor, featuring the timeless imagery of an Old World Santa. The piece is meticulously hand-worked, with Santa portrayed in a traditional crimson robe adorned with evergreen accents, capturing a nostalgic, mid-century aesthetic. The large scale and intricate texture of the needlepoint make it a substantial decorative piece, perfect for adding a layer of academic gravitas and "scholarly curiosity" to a traditional fireplace mantel or a holiday display.
The stocking is in good vintage condition, with the needlepoint remains vibrant and the structural integrity fully intact. While the piece currently exhibits some light wrinkling from storage, this is a natural characteristic of vintage textiles and does not affect the beauty of the hand-stitched design. Its rich, deep color palette and classic folk-art style allow it to fit seamlessly into a "Dark Academia" or traditional Victorian-inspired holiday interior. This is a soulful find for those who appreciate the enduring charm and craftsmanship of handmade vintage holiday textiles.
This item is vintage, approximately 40 years old.
