PROVENANCE:
The Royal Palace in Stockholm. The Swedish King Gustav V (1858-1950) was skilled at embroidery. After a stomach ulcer operation, a doctor ordered the King to stay calm by doing needlework. He relaxed by embroidering flame stitch, often behind this fold screen, to avoid distractions.
Hence by descent to the present owner.
