    Art Identification
    I have recently found a piece of art that has interested me. It is a framed piece of knitted artwork. In good condition, it looks vintage and well kept; it doesn't have the name of an artist on it.

    I wanted to know if anyone knows the name of the artist and if it is worth anything?

    Unfortunately, it looks like a kit picture that is readily available from numerous craft or hobby shops.
    The intrinsic value, therefore will be little in real terms.

    So is it worth anything?

    I'd say worth under $50.00 at least $25.00
    This seems about the average going rate for a latch hook

    That looks like a needlepoint piece.
    Still not likely to bring much of a price, this vintage piece on eBay isn't doing so well.
    It is still a nice piece of work though.

    That was the other word I was looking for. I kept thinking embroidery but knew that wasn't what it was. D

    I had to look pretty closely myself. May not be worth much in terms of money, but it's still a nice decorative piece.

    Tinyj, just out of curiosity, how large is it?
