A collection of framed wall art comprising textile works, papercraft, and decorative prints. The group includes a large crewelwork or wool embroidery on a linen ground depicting a floral bouquet in a blue footed vase, executed with satin and long-and-short stitches. Also present is an oval needlepoint or cross-stitch depicting a cluster of orange, purple, and yellow flowers on a white canvas. A further textile piece features a windmill in white needlework or lace mounted on a pink fabric ground. The collection includes a quilled paper work depicting a lady in a tiered pink dress with an umbrella.
Several small paintings and prints are included: two circular landscape works, one featuring a fence and yellow flowers and the other in blue tones, both with painted lavender sprigs on the mount. These two works bear a signature at the top right reading Pauline Lea. A small watercolor depicts a domed stone building, signed vertically to the right side Burrows. Completing the group are two prints: a square architectural street scene viewed through an archway and a horizontal depiction of bundled yellow flowers. The works are housed in a variety of gilt, wood-tone, and green-tinted frames.
