Antique English Needlepoint Tree of Life & Unicorn Keychain

A Garden of Curiosities from Centuries Past - Long before the workshops of William Morris, talented hands in the 17th century were stitching this very "Tree of Life." This reproduction captures a stunning example of Stuart-era needlepoint, currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There is a quiet, steady beauty in hand-stitched history. This design is a faithful reproduction of a 17th-century English needlepoint, a true "Tree of Life" teeming with a whimsical garden of creatures. Look closely and you’ll find a whole garden of animals - a majestic peacock, a gentle unicorn, and even a tiny, patient snail tucked among the ripening fruit and stylized blossoms. The soft, muted greens and warm ochres of the aged silk threads give this piece an authentic, weathered patina that feels like a discovery from a hidden attic. It’s perfect for those who love the "maximalist" aesthetic or want to add a layer of soulful, historical texture to their home. Whether as a focal point on a gallery wall or a textured accent on a plush pillow, this piece carries the warmth of a thousand tiny stitches.
