Fox Hunt Tray






As you know from my musings I am definately not a fan of fox hunting but want to show you this. I found this Art Deco embroidered tray quite a few years ago. I absolutely love it. The workmanship is stunning even the faces of the man and woman is highly worked. The detail is incredible. There is a sense of fun and movement caught by the horse jumping with the dogs and the dogs jumping after the butterflies. Much nicer than jumping after foxes me thinks!!!

It is quite typical of the Art Deco period found in crockery and prints. This has been woven and embroidered and then placed under glass and made into a tray.
